If I may, the question was around accountability, but rather than offering any metrics that you as a government are using to determine the success of the CBC and whether or not more money should be spent there, the only thing you've mentioned is comparing to other countries and what they're spending. You're more interested in keeping up with others—keeping up with the Joneses, if you will—than you are in holding the broadcaster accountable for actually producing what Canadians rely on.
Viewership is down. Trust is down. Canadians are not buying into this, but you're insisting that we need to spend more money because other countries are doing it. Why is that your metric? Why are you not holding the CBC to greater account?
