That's my understanding.
When I am outside Quebec doing an interview, I notice that the same resources are used by the anglophone network. The vast majority of people who watch the CBC outside Quebec are anglophones, particularly in some provinces.
You certainly wouldn't have the same lease and you certainly wouldn't have the same services available to francophones if an anglophone service wasn't offered as well.
I'm going to switch to English now.
For the minority language community—the English-speaking community in Quebec—if you were to cut the English CBC, wouldn't there be a huge gap for English-speaking Quebeckers if the CBC didn't exist? I have been throughout the province of Quebec, and in many parts of Quebec, outside of Montreal, the CBC is the only local news available to the English-speaking community, whether it's on radio or on television.
