The risks are significant, because without CBC/Radio‑Canada we would live in a disconnected society. In such a vast country, it is very difficult to have common ideas and values. Francophones in minority communities especially will not have access to local news services in French. The same is true for people who live in the north of the country: there will be no more ties. We are an essential part of these people's lives. Our role, that of connecting communities, is very important.
