In terms of transforming businesses into non-profit organizations, I would first say that philanthropy has its limits. A number of donors focus, most of the time, on the health, education and other sectors. Donations to the culture sector make up only a marginal portion, especially in regional and local markets. I don't think companies are going to rush into a business model like that one. Some major markets may be able to secure a share of donations for philanthropic causes. This is the bet that La Presse and Le Devoir have made from the beginning. As for the Quotidien, in Chicoutimi, or l'Acadie nouvelle, in New Brunswick, they occupy markets that probably have fewer major donors. That is not what will allow the business model to survive, in my opinion. Therefore, I would be surprised if there were a major transformation within the five-year period provided for in the program.
As far as the second subject is concerned, the aim is to help the media that are currently in danger. This is mainly the written press. There are problems with television and radio, but they will have to be addressed in a different way. Television already benefits from the Canada Media Fund for television production. The written press does not benefit from it. We support the program as currently proposed.
