Thank you very much.
Good morning, Ms. Mounier and Mr. Robinson. I will begin with a short preamble.
My comment is addressed to you, Ms. Mounier. The questions that you have been asked all deal with how the television system will broadcast the French or English channel to the various provinces in Canada. In Quebec, for example, francophones are in the majority. There is a large English-speaking community in Montreal, but half of anglophones in Quebec live outside Montreal. There is no problem in Montreal. I think that everyone will receive the signal by cable or other means, through CTV. I think they are the ones broadcasting the games.
On the North Shore and even in the Gaspé region, there are villages that are mainly, but not entirely anglophone. The residents are bilingual, but English is their first language. English has been one of the languages used in Quebec since before Confederation. Because anglophones in those areas are not very numerous, they do not necessarily receive English cable and satellite signals.
Has CTV taken any steps to deal with that issue?
Mr. D'Amours made a very good point earlier. He said that there were small groups of francophones in his province that will not receive the signal. In my province, on the other hand, there are places where anglophone groups may not receive the signal. So I am wondering whether all anglophones in Quebec will receive the English signal or only those in urban areas. There are approximately 14,000 anglophones in Quebec City. They will receive the signal without any problem, as will anglophones in Montreal and Sherbrooke. But the situation is different in rural areas. Can you please answer my question on this?
