Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Péladeau, for being here today.
I want to talk about journalistic programming and creative activities that are part of section 68.1. Of course I was very interested in your comments earlier. I actually owned one of those 2007 Ford half-tons. I guess I must have had the base unit. I didn't have the stealth one, or whatever it was. That must have been similar to what the CBC felt they could release in the pages that were given there.
I really think there's a different set of rules that we have. You have accountability to your shareholders, and the CBC should have some accountability to taxpayers. I believe that is what we're talking about here.
I'd also like to address the issue that was just mentioned a few minutes ago about the $500 million from taxpayers that the CBC alleges you have received.
You've talked about potential legal recourse. I don't want to get into what you might want to look at in that area, but is this a situation where an ATI request could go to them to determine just where these accusations come from, or is that something that would be covered by journalistic privilege?
