Mr. Chair, what we're doing here is stepping on that very slippery slope. In fact, we're starting to slide. What this motion effectively will do is send a message to CBC—if in fact the minister passes on that message, which I expect she would not, but if in fact she does—that until the next mandate review, really nothing of significance is going to happen within CBC: no layoffs, no hires, no significant contracts to be signed. Quite frankly, I don't recall government ever acting in that way.
Until the review is completed, you allow the crown corporation to carry on business in the usual course. We can't support this. We cannot support a motion like this, and quite frankly, Mr. Chair, if Mr. Bélanger were on this side of the table, my guess is he wouldn't be putting forward this motion.
