We are going to ask SRC representatives to come and meet with us. The fact remains that Radio-Canada is living with cuts it was told it had to live with. It is no coincidence that no national news comes from Newfoundland and Labrador or from Vancouver. The cuts have affected a number of things in the trenches, especially the journalists.
This is the national news we are listening to. Just go to the CRTC hearings. At those hearings, the Société nationale de l'Acadie, and all the other francophone groups in Canada have come to say so.
Perhaps we are not on the same planet. Sincerely, I am telling you what is happening back home. Just think of the number of times complaints have been laid. Of course, you will reply that it is because of Radio-Canada's programming. But Radio-Canada has a national mandate, and the complaints keep coming. The SRC's response is that it does not have the money because of the cuts and that it is being forced to ask if it can start looking for sponsors, which would make things even worse. This is because of the cuts that were forced onto Radio-Canada.
