Canadian Heritage committee  I believe I answered it.

Canadian Heritage committee  You have asked two questions: the first concerns local news, and the other, the amount that Corus receives from Shaw. That has no relationship with the distribution of specialized services in Quebec. In fact, these services are provided by Bell Fibe, Videotron, Cogeco and the oth

Canadian Heritage committee  We plan to invest in journalism but likely not in infrastructure.

Canadian Heritage committee  As I said, we are the smallest of three television networks; Citytv is not CTV or Global. This merger is about two cable companies, so it will not impact television stations at all. Yes, $13 million of Shaw cable money will be redirected to Citytv from Global TV stations. Globa

Canadian Heritage committee  There are other ways. There's a regulatory framework that outlines and dictates how each television station should spend what we call CPE, Canadian programming expenditure. It's a really tight sandbox. There are rules for everything. There is an amendment we are proposing on Bil

Canadian Heritage committee  In Bill C-11, yes. I will let Pam talk to you about that.

We at Rogers pride ourselves on being the gold standard for that. With respect to the coverage of local sports and what you get on Shaw Spotlight today,

Canadian Heritage committee  Currently, neither Rogers nor Shaw has a cable company in Quebec. I don't see the link, but maybe I misunderstood your question. The Rogers cable company that will be merging with Shaw is located in western Canada.

Canadian Heritage committee  I think that there is some confusion here. Concerning local news, we will improve upon the existing service offerings in Montreal. We do not offer cable television services in the province of Quebec. However, by acquiring Shaw, Rogers will become the largest contributor to the C

Canadian Heritage committee  I'll start to answer your question, and then I will ask my colleague Ms. Dinsmore to add her comments. We are certainly aware of the importance that the company will have after the merger with Shaw. I have been with Rogers for 30 years now, and we have always aspired to be a lea

Canadian Heritage committee  Concerning local news, we have a CityNews broadcasting station in Montreal. We are reaching the anglophone minority in Montreal, and our station is located in the downtown. This station will receive more funding after the Shaw acquisition.

Canadian Heritage committee  I will certainly attempt to do that. All local stations have CRTC obligations. The licence they hold is really quite strict. You have a certain percentage of locally relevant news you have to do per week. You have a certain amount of locally reflective news you have to do per we
