I've lived in western Canada for 10 years, in a particularly anglophone community. I was the francophone. I frankly have to admit that what attached me to my community was Radio-Canada. No other media outlet did that. As an individual—I'm not speaking on behalf of the council—that affected me deeply. So I wouldn't want that to happen in any case. That would be an enormous loss for all communities outside Ottawa.
