First of all, I want to correct the record, because what my colleague is saying is totally untrue. Under the Conservative government, nearly 2,000 jobs were lost. We restored all the funding that had been eliminated, and we made sure there was money so CBC/Radio-Canada would not have to cut any jobs.
As for the future, my goal is obviously to ensure that CBC/Radio-Canada has the means and the capacity to provide news and information in all regions of the country, including Manitoba, indigenous communities and francophone communities outside Quebec. It's crucial. I'm very much looking forward to working on that with my NDP colleague and my Bloc Québécois colleagues. I think we share the same objective: We want to ensure that Canada has a strong, viable and stable public broadcaster that is at arm's length from government.
