Mr. Chair, can I just have 30 seconds, please?
I'd like to point out the fact that the government establishes the president and the board of directors of the CBC. This particular decision, as regrettable as it may be to some people in this room and others who are involved with it, was referred to the board of directors, who on behalf of the CBC management made this decision. It was not just a management decision; it was a decision by the directors of the CBC.
So they have followed all of the order right through, and I'm asking again that we seriously consider...that we have to make sure we are maintaining order in what we're doing with respect to this committee. Otherwise, quite frankly, we will really create a situation of having people legitimately asking whether we have the competence as a committee to consider an awful lot of these matters.
