Mr. Speaker, it seems very odd that the president would resign if that in fact were the case.
When budgetary information is withheld from Canadians, it creates uncertainty and confusion. In this case, it has caused the resignation of the president of the CBC who accused the minister of failing to disclose the information to Canadians about future cuts to the CBC. The minister denies it. They cannot both be telling the truth.
Since this is the second time the minister has placed himself in a compromising position, will he clear the air and promptly submit his resignation to the Prime Minister.
