The two are closely linked. Of course, the budgets are different and the services in French are separate from the services in English. However, they do share a lot of infrastructure, both technological and physical. This includes workplaces and many of our information processing systems. All our regional stations work in both English and French. The teams working in each language collaborate to a huge extent.
Often, the francophones in minority situations are in very much smaller teams and they greatly depend on their CBC colleagues' ability to gather information and pictures.
So the activities are integrated to a considerable extent. It would be difficult to maintain the quality and quantity of French-language services if there were major cuts at CBC.
