Official Languages committee  Yes, definitely. I must tell you that, at a meeting of the board of directors, an annual general meeting held yesterday, we ratified the appointment of a representative from Nunavut to the board.

Official Languages committee  The same is true for me. Without Radio-Canada, without that means of communication... It is important in the regions, especially in the rural regions, as Ms. Gagné said. The community radio stations are there, but that doesn't meet the full range of our needs.
