Canadian Heritage committee  What we have presented here is the percentage of Canadians who watch Internet television. This is obviously based on numbers. It's a challenge to measure the online consumption. There's no central system for measuring it as there is in the traditional world. We do have the percentage of Canadians who are watching Internet TV.

Canadian Heritage committee  The main instruments in the tool kit for promoting Canadian broadcasting policy are enunciated in the Broadcasting Act. The objectives are set there. The CRTC is mandated under the act to regulate the system to achieve those objectives. You'll be hearing later on from the CRTC a little on how they do their thing.

Canadian Heritage committee  If you look at our slide depicting the expenditures on Canadian programming, we track those expenditures with the CRTC data and we see that expenditures on Canadian programming have increased, growing from $2.5 billion to $2.9 billion in 2014. Here, we're just talking about what the broadcasters are spending on Canadian programming.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning. This deck provides an overview of the Broadcasting Act and information on key trends affecting broadcasting in Canada. I will start with the Broadcasting Act, on page 4. It dates back to 1991 and establishes the broadcasting policy for Canada.
