Good morning, Mr. Lacroix. Thank you for your presentation, which has put us in the right frame of mind to deal with your appearance here this morning.
For me, this sorts out perceptions. We're contemplating the future with a great deal of interest. Our role is to promote our country's official languages and to ensure they are well respected.
You mentioned a number of times that it would be possible to do better in the future. However, when Mr. Stursberg appeared, I asked him whether that was a business decision. His answer was sort of yes and sort of no, then, on the subject of funding and money, he made it clear that that was not the case, that it was simply a matter of programming.
Talking about programming, you just addressed the fact that there is the francophone side, with Radio-Canada, and the CBC. As regards the matching of the various galas broadcast, I think it would be sensible to plan how to manage the matter in future with regard to official languages. When people are invited to a gala of this kind, it is very important to promote them, regardless of the language they speak.
You threw the ball back into the court of the Hall of Fame Gala people, who are thinking about it for the moment. But what do you know to date about next year's gala?
