Mr. Petit, if that were the case and no francophones were presented on CBC's airwaves in any program whatever, I would agree with you and I would understand why you were angry. However, that's not at all the case.
To go back to the Hall of Fame, Mr. Stursberg told you—once again, I would be pleased to give you all the information—the number of occasions and programs between 2006 and 2008 when the CBC presented French Canadian artists on the screen, on CBC television. That said, the format of that program is determined by independent programmers with whom we work and who edit the 44 minutes for us. The format was discussed and accepted with the organizers. No one was surprised with the way those 44 minutes were developed. However, I repeat once again, we recognize—and I do first of all—that we could have done a better job of reflecting the diversity of the performances that evening.
