Succinctly, I was listening very closely to Mr. Bureau, and we are not a BDU. Unlike the BDUs, we don't really influence—never mind “don't really”; we don't influence at all what programming is distributed up there, or in Canada, or anywhere else in the world.
Mr. Bureau said the BDUs are not just a pipe. We really are just a pipe. We provide that pipe to BDUs. We provide that pipe to broadcasters, and so do, I should say, our foreign competitors, who are also providing their pipe in Canada to customers here.
We're very sensitive to the cultural concerns that exist out there. That's why we've tried to be very tailored in the kind of request we've made to government. All we're looking for is that the ownership restrictions on our sector be relaxed.
There are other provisions that require us to make our satellite capacity available to Canadians. We aren't looking for those rules to be relaxed at all.
There are rules that require us to design satellites so that they cover all of Canada. Our competitors come in here, and as you can imagine, they just cover the most lucrative, profitable parts of Canada. We're required to cover all of Canada. We're not looking for any relaxation in those requirements.
So I do believe that we are not in a position to influence content.
