For francophone and Acadian communities and for myself living in Saskatchewan, Radio-Canada is the only source of regional news in French. The same thing applies to my Acadian friends, those who live in British Columbia and even those living in Edmonton or Calgary.
As for regional news in French, the national evening news report is sometimes a source of frustration for francophone and Acadian communities tuning in. In fact, a portion of the regional news report covers national and international news. I must admit that, as a Franco-Saskatchewanian, I find it a bit tiresome to hear about the Champlain Bridge, the Mercier Bridge and the construction crisis these days. Yesterday evening, among the topics covered on the national news was the construction crisis. Only at the very end did they talk about the Official Languages Commissioner's report, although it affects the whole country.
We would like to have a national news report, which would not only cover Quebec, but all of Canada. As for the regional news report, it is of the utmost importance that we continue having access to Radio-Canada's services.
