Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to say that I'm extremely disappointed not to be able to have Ms. Charette involved in this exchange. It was extremely important that we be able to ask her questions. Her expertise and point of view would have made a major contribution to this discussion. I think Ms. Charette should try to reconnect to the meeting from another computer, in the hope, of course, that the problem is with her computer, not with the earpiece she's been provided. I hope we can hear what she has to say by the end of this meeting.
In the meantime, I'd like to speak with the representatives of the Friends of Canadian Media. We haven't heard a great deal from them, except during their opening remarks.
First, good afternoon to you both. I'd like to hear your opinions regarding the comments that have been made since this meeting began.
