Mr. Morrison, you were talking about the minister's comments at the April 29 meeting. You were there, I'm sure. Do you remember my trying to get a straight answer from him about why he said very clearly in the media--in the middle of the crisis in funding, when CBC was trying to get bridge financing--that there was never any discussion about the loan against future appropriations? I found that very odd, because it was clearly in the article. He said I was pulling headlines out of thin air.
I went back and checked it. Sure enough, it was a very clear and definitive statement--probably as definitive as his statement at the meeting that there would be no further cuts to the CBC. Now we're seeing $56 million being identified. It's very hard for us at this point to take the minister's word that he and his government don't have a vendetta against the CBC.
When you were sitting there, did you hear a very clear enunciation that the attack on CBC was finished, as far as he was concerned? It looks like it's just starting.
