I remind you that the CBC, being only one public radio and television broadcasting corporation, receives less than public broadcasters in many other countries that provide a great deal more support for their broadcasting corporations.
I'm going to move on to another subject. In Bill C-51, you talk about agreements concerning member countries of the IMF, which means international agreements. However, there is another international dimension raised by the OECD, which has released a list of countries that foster tax avoidance, or tax havens. The list specifically mentions Panama, with which Canada is currently negotiating a free-trade agreement.
Does it not strike you that by endeavouring to sign such an agreement, you are once again supporting tax avoidance and making Panama one of the tax havens that enable Canadian and Quebec citizens to hide money from the taxman and earn profits from that money elsewhere than here in Canada? In my opinion, it's a little, perhaps a lot, immoral to support a free-trade agreement with a country blacklisted by the OECD.
