Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being with us today. I would like to make a few comments on what Ms. Drouin said. That was very interesting. Changes were made 30 or 40 years ago. When I was young, we heard French songs from France. However, the quota and changes have made it possible for Quebec and Canadian songs to take their place. So that means the government plays a role in Canadian culture.
I'm going to just continue on the intertwining and convergence of satellite telecommunications and broadcasting and how they're coming together. Ms. Drouin gave an example about XStream and Sirius coming in and Canadians getting bumped off. That's one of the concerns I have, especially in the satellite business, because it seems that's the first one that people are starting to examine and want to get rid of because it's international. We don't have to worry about it.
We've seen the introduction of high-definition television, which takes substantially more bandwidth. Now 3-D television is coming up, and I believe it takes two and a half times more again. So we're seeing expanded requirement for bandwidth, and that's coming exponentially. Before we know it we'll all be watching 3-D television.
This is what concerns me. Similar to what happened with XStream and Sirius, as we need more bandwidth and band space, who's going to take that up, and where is it going to come from if the satellite companies aren't Canadian-owned or aren't regulated under Canadians laws?
So my question is this: as our demand for bandwidth expands, how do you see that affecting Canadian culture and affecting you in your jobs?
