Arts and Culture knee-capped the CBC and Telefilm. They are closing CineRobotheque in Montreal and the NFB studios in Toronto. How can the minister claim to support Canadian culture when he constantly takes a sledgehammer to its very foundations?

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Mr. Speaker, it actually gets worse. Not only do journalists have to swear an oath of loyalty but the chair of the board of the CBC now has to swear an oath of friendship to the minister. Is it really that hard for him to find a friend?

The Canadian Museum of History Act their independence. In fact, the Conservative cabinet, if Bill C-60 passes, will attempt to dictate rates of pay for non-unionized workers and terms for collective agreements at many cultural agencies, including the CBC and the Museum of Civilization, or as it will soon be called, the museum
