Okay. Thank you for that.
Certainly, something that I became very aware of during the 2015 campaign was the cuts to CBC under the Harper government.
Again, I want to go back to a couple of days ago when journalists asked Mr. Scheer if he'd reduce government funding for the CBC if he got elected. He wouldn't answer that directly.
We all have in mind this promise to axe the news division of CBC. Our government, on the other hand, has reinvested $670 million in support of the corporation. Would you say government funding is essential to the functioning of CBC?
