When the directive under section 15 was issued, I did not expect any results other than what transpired after the hearing. To be frank, when the minister for Canadian heritage issues a directive like that, it's pretty clear what the CRTC is expected to do. That's just my commentary on that.
There's a distinction there. Publicly owned airwaves are licensed, and we have long determined editorial or content direction, Canadian content rules being the most famous of those. Free speech and free expression rights are protected generally, but throughout the civil domain of our society, I think that's a separate and distinct issue.
We appreciate your feedback on it. You've pointed out an important change that needs to be made to the bill if we are to get authoritarian state-controlled broadcasters off our airwaves.
