I mentioned that problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728524\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A private broadcaster would undertake the mandate it could undertake with the funding at its disposal and with a knowledge of where it has to go to get it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728525\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When a private company wants to buy time for its commercials, it is unfortunately more likely to choose to air them during a major American film dubbed into French rather than during a Canadian production.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728526\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That is exactly why CBC/Radio-Canada exists: to broadcast and promote our own unique, homegrown content in an accessible way, two things that the private sector is unfortunately not always able to do in the same way. Let us be clear, there is room for both. We are not saying that it must be one or the other, but that seems to be the view of the Conservatives. The private sector has a role to play, but so does the public broadcaster. It must not be neglected, as the Conservative government is doing.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3728523\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est une bonne question. J'ai fait allusion \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728524\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Un diffuseur priv\u00e9 accepterait le mandat qu'il peut accepter en fonction des fonds \u00e0 sa disposition et d'o\u00f9 il doit aller les chercher.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728525\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Alors, lorsqu'une entreprise priv\u00e9e veut acheter de l'espace publicitaire, il y a de meilleures chances qu'elle choisisse un grand film am\u00e9ricain doubl\u00e9 en fran\u00e7ais plut\u00f4t qu'une production canadienne pour diffuser ses publicit\u00e9s, malheureusement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3728526\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est exactement pour cette raison que Radio-Canada/CBC existe, soit pour diffuser et promouvoir le contenu unique de chez nous de fa\u00e7on accessible, deux choses que le priv\u00e9 n'est malheureusement pas toujours capable de faire de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on. Soyons clairs, il y a une coexistence n\u00e9cessaire. On ne dit pas que ce doit \u00eatre l'un ou l'autre, mais cela semble \u00eatre l'avis des conservateurs. Le secteur priv\u00e9 a son r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer, mais le diffuseur public aussi. Il ne faut pas le n\u00e9gliger comme le fait le gouvernement conservateur.</p>"
