Appendix 15
Terms of Reference: Diversity Panels
In its 1999 Report, A Sense of Place — A Sense of Being, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage noted that there are literally hundreds of definitions of culture, from the sociological and the anthropological, to the aesthetic.
Given this, Members would like the panelists, within the context of its study of the Canadian broadcasting system, to address the following questions:
| 1. | What is your definition of culture? |
| 2. | What is your definition of diversity? |
| 3. | What is your definition of cultural diversity? |
| 4. | What is working? What is not working? |
| 5. | What lessons can be learned from the popularity of grey and black-market satellite systems in Canada (estimated to be more than 700,000 households)? Does this phenomenon suggest an insufficient diversity of choice? |
| 6. | Is there such thing as too little or too much diversity? |
| 7. | Is the federal government's approach to cultural diversity appropriate? Can you recommend any policy or programming changes? |
