Those files are always very difficult. Although there has been talk about the last frequency in Toronto on a number of occasions, engineers always find a new one, but the quality of each new frequency keeps getting worse. Yes, Choq-FM wanted to get 88.1 in Toronto.
When we do the evaluation, we analyze market needs and people's needs. There is a francophone community, but there are also a lot of multicultural communities. We also take into account young people, seniors, and so on. People submit their business plans. It is very difficult. I think we had almost two weeks of hearings. I was not there at the time, but the commission sat for almost two weeks to go through 22 requests.
For official language minority communities, we have a specific evaluation grid. We have made progress in that respect. In terms of the decision-making process, we ensure before and during a hearing that all our decisions are always made through the lens of official languages. We keep that in mind in our evaluation. Unfortunately, we must consider many other factors. In this case, Choq-FM was not able to change its frequency. By contrast, the community group here in Ottawa got a French-language community station.
We are trying to give consideration to a number of factors and it is not always easy. There are always more people who are disappointed than people who are happy.
