Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much to all of the witnesses for being here this morning.
I would like to ask my questions of Ms. Wellens.
I was looking at a report recently from, I think, QUESCREN, which is an organization, as you may know, out of Concordia University. It was a study that showed that, since 2008, 104 Quebec media outlets, including newspapers, radio and TV, have folded, merged or become online only, and about 22% of them were English or bilingual news outlets.
Depending on how you look at the statistics, Quebec's English-speaking population could be anywhere from 10% to 15% of the population. At 22% of those closures, there was a disproportionate impact, I would say, on the English-speaking minority, not only in Quebec City and the Rive-Sud, as we were just discussing, but actually in the English populations that live in small communities across the province of Quebec.
It's very important to underscore, again, as you have, the importance in particular of the radio—CBC Radio One—in terms of information and as a reliable, trusted source of information for these communities, not just in Quebec City but actually across the province of Quebec.
Could you elaborate a little on the experience beyond Quebec City exclusively in this regard?
