That's very good to hear, because there was a period when I think we were all very frustrated. I mean, we pay for programming, we want good programming, and we value the importance. For example, I live in a region larger than Great Britain. CBC/Radio-Canada is the only link, especially in our francophone communities. So the fact that now we have a good working relationship is something that I think Canadians want to hear.
Now, you've been tracking the Quebecor dirty war against CBC and the increase. Mr. Del Mastro and I were on the heritage committee together, and I remember when, on November 23, 2010, he asked a private broadcaster, “...do you think it's time that the Canadian government...says...we [should] get out of the broadcasting business and get into investing more money into content?” He said, as well, that the private sector would not only make use of it but has done so already.
It seemed to me that a message was sent to private broadcasters--namely, if we increase the pressure on CBC, maybe we could divert some of the public appropriations that are going to CBC into their private competitors.
Is it just me, or do you think that in the period after Mr. Del Mastro's comments the war on CBC by Quebecor started to reach higher and higher, with more extreme language?
