Thank you very much, and thanks for the motion. I appreciate it.
As I've said before, this is a study that we've been waiting to do. I'm excited that we have witnesses here, but there are a couple of things I just want to clarify.
One is that these are creative decisions made by independent organizations. It's important for us to be careful to make comments on the creative decisions of independent organizations. The CBC as an independent Crown corporation does come here, and we will have the opportunity to ask it some questions about anything we want. Production of this show, from what I understand, has stopped and no show has ever aired. Again, I'm not justifying the actions, but I think that commenting on independent organizations and their creative decisions is a bit of a tricky situation given our position.
My main concern here is the really important study that we are all doing and have agreed upon. We're losing time consistently on motion after motion after motion. I appreciate that there are many issues happening in Canada, but I would also appreciate it if we could focus on the study we have before us. We have witnesses who wish to share with us their time and expertise regarding the importance of cultural spaces in Canada.
I vote to adjourn.
