I always really enjoy listening to you, Mr. Godin. In your heart of hearts, you really are a huge fan of CBC/Radio-Canada and of the corporation's role.
Several committee members and I have had the opportunity to talk about our strategic plan for 2015. The second pillar of the strategic plan is that, as a national public broadcaster, we have to have our roots in the regions. The conferences we have just announced also show how we are reflecting the regions: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and so on. The list includes people from the north and from the Maritimes. The object of the conferences is to create public spaces where people will be able to talk to each other. We are also going to ask them what they are going to do for the 150th anniversary. We will have links established with our partners in those communities. We will be asking them for their ideas about how they can arrange to get other people with a similar story in other parts of Canada working with them. The goal of those conferences is to do exactly what you are hoping we will do, to create stories that will bring together Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
