Very well.
I believe that a public broadcaster should not rely too heavily on commercial revenues because it could jeopardize its ability to fulfill its mandate. But that doesn't seem to concern the minister or the government. As I see it, that is something that should concern all Canadians.
Now I would like to turn to the 150th anniversary celebrations. I was encouraging the department to refer to the milestone as the 150th anniversary of Confederation. All those who know that the country's history goes back more than 150 years may feel that the value of that history is being diminished, to make reference to a similar situation that's been in the news recently.
On May 15, the minister had this to say on the subject, and I quote: "the plan for the 150th anniversary has not yet been established".
It will soon be 2015. Is there a plan to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation?
