The length of time will depend on whether it's radio or specialty television or conventional television, and also whether it's in a market that others might be interested in entering, because then we would do a competitive call, especially if there's only one frequency available or only enough economic room for one player. So throughout the process, we receive an application, we consider whether or not it should be opened up to others, and then we publish all applications for new licences through a process. Scott will tell you exactly what the timeframes and standards are, but I'll just explain to you in broad strokes how this works. The public will express their views. Competitors in the marketplace will express their views. Oftentimes we have representatives of official minority communities or the other linguistic third language communities who come to the process, either in writing.... Often but not always we will have an oral hearing, but most of our applications are done on paper now, and then the commissioners deliberate based on the recommendations by staff.
As I mentioned earlier to your colleagues across the way, we put an official language lens on everything we do, so that part of the recommendation that staff bring to the commission's decision meetings includes a review of what it means for official language communities.
