Thank you, Madam Tait.
Building on that, we heard another falsehood come from the Conservatives about the fact that the CBC has lost the trust of Canadians. In fact, that's actually not true.
All the data point to the fact that the majority of Canadians continue to believe that the CBC is a trusted voice, including half of Conservative voters. I'm not sure which half they're talking to, but it seems to me that if the data show that at least half of Conservatives and many others believe that the CBC is a good thing, then it seems like their data points and their research perhaps aren't as solid as they think it might be.
I'd like to lean in a bit on this fanciful notion the Conservatives have that they could support French language programming in Quebec only. We know that they don't care about French language rights outside of Quebec. It's probably too woke to think about indigenous communities and to think about the idea of telling the stories of Canada.
Let's talk about brass tacks in Quebec. They perpetuate this myth that you could run a successful Radio-Canada without CBC's infrastructure.
How ridiculous is that, exactly?
Can you quantify for us what would actually happen if you said that you're going to cut all the funding to CBC and focus entirely on Radio-Canada? Your Olympic example was one.
What would that actually do to the quality of Radio-Canada and its ability to deliver what it's trying to do?
