I mentioned proximity, relevance and inclusion. These are the three themes of our next strategy.
We know that in a world of polarization and disinformation, our regional presence is absolutely critical.
I need to correct the record, though, on the contractual nature of our obligation. We do what we can with the resources that we have. There are 33 communities in English Canada with a population of more than 50,000 that do not have a CBC presence. On the French side, there are five communities with population of over 50,000 that do not have a Radio-Canada presence. We know that presence builds confidence, builds trust and builds a more civic and civil society. That is why I argue each and every day to have a greater presence in our regions, to go deeper and to be absolutely more involved in all of our communities.
This is our commitment, our absolute mandate and our desire.
