No, probably not; I would think that the requests for information will remain pretty constant. This is a battle between competitors, and seven.... The number may need to be increased to...I don't know.
It concerns me, in that I find it curious. I find it curious also that the people responsible within CBC for access to information are the president and the board, and these people have all been appointed by the Conservative government. There are some curious things here.
However, we won't meet again. You are beginning what is an important study, and I wish you well on it—you have a month of intense work. May I just say that although this is the issue, it's a coat wrapping up another issue, and that issue is the future of the CBC. You can do away with something, or you can chip away at it on this front and on that front until what's left is not recognizable and is not valued by people, so why bother anyway? That's my worry. That's my concern.
May I ask you please to remember in your reports that the guiding principle has to be that we need a public broadcasting system in Canada. It's what Canada is. If we lose the CBC as we know it, we lose Canada.
