Mrs. Bouchard, I'm going to give you a compliment, but I promise I'll be critical when the opportunity arises. I must admit that I was quite impressed when I looked at your CV. In sports terms, we could say that you are a franchise player. So I hope that once you're out on the ice, you'll rise to the occasion. I'm not much of a sports fan, but I liked the image.
That said, the purpose of this study is to discuss the effects of defunding the CBC. This is a concern for many people around this table and is of great concern to the cultural sector in Quebec, the media sector in general, the news sector and people who are interested in quality news.
What do you think would be the consequences of defunding the CBC? How should we react to that?
