First of all, as regards the prostitution affair in Quebec City, I'm surprised by your comments. I haven't always lived in Montreal, and I heard about it a lot. So, the media clearly were talking about it. I listen to Radio-Canada a great deal, and I believe that the very morning the first suspect was arrested, there was considerable radio and television coverage of these events in Montreal.
So, I'm rather surprised to hear you say that we provided no coverage for two years. I could speak at length about the prostitution scandal in Quebec City. I live in Montreal, and that's where I get my information. We even carried public affairs program, debates and call-in shows dealing with it. So, in my opinion, we provided extensive coverage.
As regards whether Radio-Canada is left-wing or right-wing, sovereignist or federalist, that is an issue that has been debated forever and a day. At the same time, every time there is any objective analysis of the situation, with due regard for all the opinions expressed over the airwaves, be it on radio or television, the conclusion is that Radio-Canada has an objective approach and that its reporters are extremely competent.
It could be said, if we're talking about suggestiveness, that certain positions are more left-leaning than right-leaning. Personally, I believe there are people with every kind of perspective at Radio-Canada. However, we have to ensure that on our network, the full spectrum of ideas is expressed, so that events can be covered in a comprehensive manner and the societal debates that need to happen, can. At Radio-Canada, few ideas are rejected. At least, no example comes to mind. I don't know whether a particular correspondent may have seemed anti-Bush to you. In any case, I believe that overall, the perspectives and debates presented on Radio-Canada are predicated on quality information. I would be very concerned if I believed otherwise.
Mr. Lalande may wish to add something.
