I thank Mr. Finnegan for his opening statement. As someone who would still regard myself as relatively new in here, his legacy is written on the walls and is very clear to see. I wish him the very best and commend him and everyone who works as part of his team for continued success into the future. I really mean that.

I think what we are starting to hear is a sense of the real frustration and concern with regard to the part-time broadcast workers. I would like to give a portion of my time to that if I can. If people from the commission had met them, they would see it very quickly as well. If we can get straight down to it, is it a fait accompli that the current tender runs its course or does Mr. Finnegan have it within his power to press pause on that tender as it is?
