What I want to demonstrate is that you do your job in the field with rubber bands and tape, but not much money. As you promote artists and emerging talent and make all the efforts in your region, who benefits? Public television stations do, as they receive astronomical amounts to broadcast and, on top of that, they have advertising revenue. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? If we are supposedly interested in having French thrive everywhere in Canada, shouldn’t you be supported instead?
Earlier, you mentioned that there seemed to be a willingness in the House of Commons, and that official languages regulations were moving in that direction. That said, the regulations have not yet been tabled in the House. I don’t know where you got that information, but you may have information that I don’t. You may have special connections with people here around the table.
Do you think it’s normal to be subsidized for one-time, non‑recurring projects while the beast—I’ll call it that—the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, has abundant subsidies and access to the advertising market, and is competing with you? Would it be preferable for you to receive better financial assistance on a sustainable basis?
