There have been job losses across Canada in the past. The 1990 or 1995 cutbacks affected Canada as a whole, and not just Moncton.
To begin with, I want to point out that the reorganization that occurred in Montreal has nothing to do with saving money or anything like that. That reorganization had two objectives: to ensure better integration of Radio-Canada's services as a whole, and to create a regional brand, to ensure that the regions have a stronger voice.
Louis can perhaps provide additional details once I'm finished, but let's talk about interruptions in newscasts. This occurred on the Réseau de l'information, called RDI, which is a breaking news channel. As a result, when a specific event occurred, we had to carry the news immediately, resulting in the interruption of certain televised newscasts, because the regional newscasts are broadcast at specific times.
It's important to understand that RDI broadcasts the same material all across Canada and that it has no regional stations. It is a cross-Canada national network, with no regional windows. It is important to understand that reality. As a result, when a special event occurs, regular programming is obviously interrupted. You cited a number of good reasons for reviewing RDI's current mandate. Of course, there will always be breaking news. At all times of the day, there are reporters on site in Moncton, Edmonton, Vancouver, and elsewhere to ensure direct coverage of an event without a need to interrupt regional newscasts which, rightly so, bothers audiences.
However, we can guarantee that the space currently set aside for the regions on RDI will not change. That is a CRTC licence condition.
Louis, would you like to continue?
