Mr. Del Mastro said this: "... but do you think it's time that the Canadian government looks at it and says maybe it's time we get out of the broadcasting business and get into investing more money into content?" That is a quotation from November 23 at the Canadian Heritage Committee. That is from your parliamentary secretary, Mr. Moore. We have never heard you distance yourself clearly from that statement by your parliamentary secretary. Nor have we ever heard you say clearly that you supported the CBC and you would defend it to your caucus. We have never heard you say that.
Could we hear you say it today? You are sitting down and you have an excellent forum; the people are listening to you and drinking in your words. Could you tell us that you have confidence in the CBC and you support the CBC and its present mandate?
