Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, thank you for joining us and for your contribution today. It's a pleasure to see you here with your colleagues.
I would like to talk a little bit about CBC/Radio-Canada.
Cuts were made during the Harper years. You've been talking about rebuilding these institutions for some time now.
We continue to hear rhetoric about defunding the CBC and about the value of the CBC. I would like to hear your thoughts on that. Why is the CBC important? What are the potential impacts of that kind of rhetoric on those institutions and on our country?
