In my view, the criteria are not demanding enough. There's something missing. Something more needs to be done.
Currently, under its licence, the CBC must broadcast six hours of regional production as part of its national programming. Regional for the CBC means everything outside of Montreal. That includes Rimouski, Sept-Îles and the Canadian francophonie. Very often, the programs are things like Le Jour du Seigneur or La Semaine verte, which have a very small viewership.
What we would like to see is an increase in the number of hours during which the Canadian francophonie can be seen and that these programs be broadcast in better time slots.
