"struggling private broadcasters stay afloat " - That is complete nonsense.  These broadcasters make so much money on the internet side of things, but somehow that money doesn't make it into the books. Take take take!   The fact is that we need to maintain this private funding model to ensure a strong and robust Canadian film and TV industry.  The CRTC's mandate is simply to protect and maintain Canadian content.  Their decision to back the broadcasters went against their single function.  Joly sending back the decision for review to the CRTC was a good step, now it must be reversed or Canada's film and TV business is in real trouble.
