What they told us is that CBC/Radio-Canada would have to develop its own production, but that they would not compensate us for our costs; in other words, we would have to defray all of those costs on our own, without being accredited or having access to the site, and so on. They are asking us to produce television programming with pictures [Inaudible--Editor], from a room in Montreal, and to bear all the costs of that operation. However, we have no desire to produce poor programming for Francophones outside Quebec. That is the issue. If we produce programming for them, we want it to be of the same quality as the programming we deliver all across Quebec. We also want it to be accessible to all Canadians, because that is the very nature of our mandate.
