Mr. Speaker, of course we should ask more of CBC to have better results. However, the fact is that it does not have access to digital revenues as much as the private sector for the very simple reason that the private sector is able to merge and have companies that are directly in the digital economy. This is something that CBC cannot have. In addition, we have 747 channels in competition there.
Therefore, to say to CBC that it has to do it on its own, the question is which public broadcaster has been able to do that anyway? Most of them are supported by the state three to four times more than CBC.
We have to choose, as Canadians. Do we want to have a public broadcaster? Do we believe in it in the 21st century, and do we want to invest in it as we should? I am sure that the answer will be yes. We will see that at the next election.
