I did not say today that we could meet the expectations of all Canadians everywhere, given the current environment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3710612\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In the documentation, there is a graph that shows the level of public funding per capita that public broadcasters receive in various countries. In Canada, that level will be $29 per person in 2014-2015. The lower that contribution, the fewer services we can provide. In England, each person contributes $97, in a country with one time zone and a population of 70 million.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3710613\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We provide services that match what we receive. Of course our financial resources have to fit. The choices we are making tear us apart. I call them Sophie's choices, just like in the film. With the financial resources currently at our disposal, we are trying to fulfill our mandate, which is to enlighten people and make them think. </p>",
