Official Languages committee  One of the things we have been doing for a few years now is putting together a monitoring report. It is published annually, and the last report came out in September 2012. So we'll be releasing another one next year. I know that, as members, you are very busy and sometimes overwhelmed by documentation.

Official Languages committee  My answer will speak to the system as a whole, because the report pertains to the entire system. At the same time, when it comes to the licensees specifically, if a radio station is supposed to offer a certain type of content and doesn't, we have tools to require these companies to provide reports and we can grant short-term renewals.

Official Languages committee  That's right.

Official Languages committee  Okay.

Official Languages committee  No. I actually remember that I was the executive director in 2001 and was in charge of producing that report. The commission has produced another one since. That was in....

Official Languages committee  There should have been another report in 2009. We could perhaps help you find it on our website. As I mentioned in the beginning, one of the reasons we are revamping our website is that it's a bit difficult to find information on it.

Official Languages committee  Thank you.

Official Languages committee  They will be posted as soon as they are translated.

Official Languages committee  A meeting was scheduled for November 2012. But since we were in the midst of the CBC/Radio-Canada hearings, we decided that it wasn't the best time to meet with the stakeholders.

Official Languages committee  Yes. There was a meeting on January 30, in fact. We met with the communities. I wasn't able to attend but I promised to be at the next meeting. I plan to be an active participant.

Official Languages committee  Yes, there are rules in place that frame what cable and satellite distributors have to offer. There are some basic services, and one of the most important ones that affects them is this 1-in-10 rule. I think cable and satellite providers, knowing that some people might just want to have some French bundles offered, have figured out that it's just good marketing and business practice to offer those choices.

Official Languages committee  A lot of people talk about this cord-cutting or cord-shaving. I'm not sure to what extent it's occurring. It's something that in our supervisory function we look at ongoing.... In fact, some studies indicate that the people who everybody thought were cord-cutting and going to things like Netflix are in fact people who consume even more video content.

Official Languages committee  I'm not sure why you think the impact studies were done as part of the CBC/Radio-Canada process. The impact of the elimination of analog services was studied by the CRTC, with significant cooperation from other departments, Heritage Canada and Industry Canada. Hearings were held, and they were very public.

Official Languages committee  The public file is made up of evidence and studies. It's pretty sizeable. As I pointed out, people don't have to attend the hearings in person to make a statement.

Official Languages committee  Specific studies were done on the switch from analog to digital, because there was a departmental component in the decision making. In the case of the LPIF, the agency itself brought the matter up at the table. We considered those effects.
