Official Languages committee  Thank you, Gerry, In conclusion, CTV recognizes that Canada's hosting of the Olympics represents a tremendous opportunity to showcase Canada's linguistic duality to the world. We've not treated this occasion lightly. We believe we've shown this in our broadcast coverage plans, which we've described to you here today.

Official Languages committee  I'll make a couple of comments on what you said. I think Canadians have a responsibility. I think we have to work on this together. It's not any one person individually. You heard from Chairman von Finckenstein, who said that the CRTC doesn't, in and of itself, have the ability to mandate this.

Official Languages committee  Thank you. Mr. Frappier will follow me. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee and committee staff. Thank you for the invitation to discuss with you the Olympic consortium's exciting plans for French-language broadcasting coverage of the 2010 Olympic Games. My name is Rick Brace.
