Thank you all for being here.
I am coming back to the purpose of this study which is that in May of 2016 the government came up with a new policy that put a cap on what ASC would review, a $500,000 cap on advertising, and it should be non-partisan.
My question is to everyone. Is $500,000 a higher limit, because we had professors of journalism who told us that when you're asking for government advertising, is it the economic plan in action, is this the advertising you're wanting? Or is it advertising that says “Here is my program” with a Liberal logo on it? What is it that you're looking for, because we're saying the new policy has to address non-partisanship. How are we all going to ensure that non-partisanship is addressed? Secondly, is the $500,000 limit, from a governance perspective, too high a limit? If the ethnic media were to access advertising, say, and it was not an envelope of $500,000, what should be the limit?
Mr. Hinds, perhaps I can start with you.
