Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Blais and Mr. Hutton, thank you for being here with us today.
Mr. Blais, in your comments, you talked about the importance of community radio. I come from Toronto where public hearings were held in 2012 to make a decision about the new radio frequency 88.1. There was one request to give the frequency to a francophone community radio station in Toronto and you received 17 requests in total.
I know that you did your evaluation and that Toronto is a large radio market. There are a lot of requests and a lot of people. The francophone community radio Choq-FM did not get the frequency. As a member of Parliament, I supported that request.
What were the criteria for making that choice? Why was another community, another format selected instead of an official language community?
