Thank you, Madam Chair.

I also want to thank the witnesses for being with us today.

My first question is for Mr. Morrison.

You talked about other countries and their public broadcasters. You also mentioned something that startled me a little bit: the 12 members of the CBC's Board of Directors were appointed by the current government.

Could you provide us with more details on what is done in other countries? Are boards of directors also appointed by the government? Are they accountable to someone or to the government?
