Canadian Heritage committee  On “RDI matin”, we have people everywhere.

Canadian Heritage committee  Our correspondent Michèle Brideau is in Moncton every morning. The first channel will not rebroadcast RDI's programming. Youth programming is on the air at that time. That is general interest television.

Canadian Heritage committee  Talks have started on that point. I will not present a position on behalf of Radio-Canada and the CBC this morning.

Canadian Heritage committee  I think I will answer that question. It is about half and half on the vice-president's management committee. As for the overall figures for the corporation, it is approximately 46% or 47%. It is 47.5% for senior executives and 47.6% for employees as a whole. We have almost achie

Canadian Heritage committee  I apologize if we mispronounced your name. I was familiar with it since I am from Moncton. The Nova Scotia Samsons are well-known.

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Waugh, I would simply like to point out that CBC's main channel and Radio-Canada's main French-language channels are made available free of charge.

Canadian Heritage committee  With respect to news services, like our colleagues at the CBC, we will of course invest in the regions where there have been cuts. We will also invest a great deal in the digital and mobile sectors, since they are growing and we must establish a greater presence in them. We will

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Ms. McGuire. Mr. Chair, we are pleased to be here with you today. With me is Marco Dubé, executive director of regional services, French services.
