Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Canadian Heritage committee I think so too.

Canadian Heritage committee We dream of a day when The National, on CBC, will indeed be able to speak to an issue that would bring together the Canadian francophonie.

Canadian Heritage committee Personally, I would make a distinction. There is the anglophone community of Montreal, which is not what I was talking about. On the other hand, if you go into northern Quebec, in the region of Sept-Îles, etc., there are indeed anglophones, even in some areas of the Gaspé, who li

Canadian Heritage committee Precisely, we must be very careful.
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee I am not in a position to comment on the subject. I believe that anglophones in Quebec could certainly better speak to the issue than me.
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee I agree with you on this.
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee Definitely yes. I completely agree with you on the issue of the complementarity of these two tools, because they are indeed different tools. My colleague will no doubt wish to comment on that aspect. I would say to you that community radio is extremely important to us because i

Canadian Heritage committee As we mentioned in our brief, one of the dilemmas for Radio-Canada—and in my opinion, the previous witness clearly demonstrated this—is the whole issue of competition. There is talk of making Radio-Canada function in the same way as any other broadcaster, subject to market forces

Canadian Heritage committee Mr. Angus, to us, this is obvious. You are talking to me about your region, which in fact I know very well because I am a Franco-Ontarian, but I would say that if you were to go out west, you would observe exactly the same phenomenon. It is evident that the support of a significa

Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee The youth issue is important. I will no doubt ask my colleague to add something on this issue. I can, however, tell you that in many cases, the Radio-Canada journalists who arrive in the francophone communities and must contribute to the SRC mandate if I can express myself in tha

Canadian Heritage committee Indeed. Of course, they do acquire a knowledge base, but the fact remains that for them, it is often a foot in the door. However, that does not mean that these people are not able to do good work. In many cases, they are starting from scratch, they have little knowledge and they
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee That is a very good question. I think vast improvements must be made. There is room for a great deal of improvement. As we indicated in our brief, it is obvious that the cutbacks permanently affected the capacity of the radio service of this public broadcaster. In that regard,
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee I will answer you in French. In our brief, we obviously talked about the problem of resources. I think this is a basic problem. I believe that all members of the committee have understood very well that if we wish to have a public broadcaster in a position to fulfil its mandate
March 29th, 2007Committee meeting
Marielle Beaulieu
Canadian Heritage committee Thank you, and good morning Mr. Chairman. Good morning also to the members. I am pleased to find myself here once again and to be addressing the extremely important subject of Radio-Canada and its future. With me today is Mr. Serge Quinty, who is the Director of Communications fo
