Thank you for the question.
I think we’ve discussed the issue of constraint several times. We disagree with the statement that francophone music drives listeners away.
We also see that there’s flexibility. It’s not true that there isn't any. We talked about montages, and we can also discuss how francophone music is programmed.
What we notice is that francophone music is mainly broadcast when there are few listeners, particularly in the evening. We can talk about official quotas, but we can also talk about the actual exposure of our French‑language music.
We realize that, due to the way francophone music is programmed, it has less chance of being heard because it airs at times when there are fewer listeners.
We can denounce the quotas, but we can also say that there are certain manoeuvers being put in place by radio stations today to circumvent the spirit of the law.
