Thank you.

I have about 45 seconds left, and I really want to go to Ms. McLaughlin.

You explained that it cost $32,000 to make sure that you had the copyright expenses, which were about $13,000. If I understood you correctly, the English portion or the French portion is smaller, and the others are a larger portion of the radio programming, and this is what's making it costly. Tracking is what's making it costly.

As you know, there are many jurisdictions that enjoy great diversity, and therefore it's left to much smaller radio stations to support that diversity. What would you recommend, if we want to find the balance between the cost and the copyright?
