This is something we've discussed among ourselves, and Karen spoke earlier about having more debate, having a group of folks look into how this could happen. I don't have an answer for you; I wish I did. I think it's part of the problem. It's why we're here today. The confusion around section 68.1 and the clarity, or lack of clarity, is bringing up all these questions.
It behooves us as a country to have a discussion about it and try to put some parameters, put some fences around some of the questions that will be deliberated at that time. The crown corporation I work for is a journalistic enterprise; it works in a very competitive industry. It requires, I believe, some kind of...I don't want to say protections, but it needs to be able to defend its competitive edge. I guess that's the best answer I can give you. It needs to be able to keep its arm's-length relationship with government, and at the same time keep the competitors at bay when it is making decisions, whether it's a decision about programming or whether it's a decision about how many people you send to a certain location.
I can't answer the question because I don't have the details of that specific case. Programming decisions are made on a daily basis, based on a whole set of criteria that are particular to that specific event, so it's impossible for us to speak to any singular event here today.
The question has to be asked and the debate has to be had. As Mr. Morrison talked about, who's responsible? Who do they answer to? The CBC has on its website a whole list of government agencies that it answers to, that it's accountable to. Is that accountability enough? I guess that's for Parliament and the Canadian public to decide. It is a question that has been hanging out there for.... I've been at CBC now for 36 years, and we've been talking about this for at least 25.
