Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and again, thank you to our witness today.
It's pretty clear what the Conservative agenda is. It's to destroy the public broadcaster and replace it with American-owned, for-profit media. It's very clear what they stand for and what their agenda is. It's been clear in the last five meetings, and it's clear today.
Again, I want to thank our witness for bringing, I would say, some facts forward that are completely counter to every single thing the Conservatives are saying.
I just want to ask you a series of questions. I would just ask for very short answers, just so that we can be on the record here today when it comes to CBC/Radio-Canada and the perception the Conservatives are trying to present.
Really quickly, is viewership up or down?
