There is a need for volunteers. However, there has to be somebody who is able to train these volunteers. If we don't have this person, we would have a free-for-all. In the long run, we could go off in all directions but without achieving any results.
If I may, I would say the following. A few years ago, during my first term, namely, when we were in power, the Standing Committee on Official Languages adopted a resolution asking the federal government to allot a certain percentage of its advertising to minority groups. That also applied to the newspapers. We wanted to ensure that the federal government would guarantee a certain percentage. I recall that members representing community radio appeared before us and told us that if they at least had a guarantee that they would obtain this percentage, that would provide them with a source of funding.
You talked about a $4.2 million amount. If community radio and francophone media were guaranteed this percentage, that would be beneficial and it would enable you to eliminate certain obligations, such as fundraising activities and other similar events. So people could focus on their work.
