Mr. Kotto, I'm going to ask you a question.
I'd be much more comfortable if the motion asked that the committee invite the minister to share with the management of the CBC/Radio-Canada the committee's concerns about...
However, to ask the committee to invite the minister to seek assurances or some certainty is to ask her to intervene. I don't want to split hairs here either, but it seems to me that could be interpreted as ministerial intervention. I don't believe we should put any minister in that kind of situation.
The motion could state instead that the committee calls on the minister to share with senior management — which is perfectly legitimate — committee members' concerns about certain decisions, and asks that the CBC consider deferring this decision until after a review of its mandate. That kind of motion would suit me.
