In a moment, you are perhaps going to be told that it is not true, that Minister Moore is standing up for Radio-Canada. But on the first page of the web site of Rob Anders, M. P., you can see the petition. If that is what you are told, maybe you should ask about the results of the poll that the Conservative Party conducted among its members, asking their opinion about Radio-Canada funding.
This concerns me. I look at potentially abolishing CBC/Radio-Canada in the same way as you do. It's not just about the French side. People on the English side want to keep CBC/Radio-Canada too. I am taking this action because I think communities must be aware of the possibility. Thank you.
Sir, your statement was absolutely essential. To be fair to the government, I congratulate it for putting a cultural element into the roadmap. It is something the action plan did not have; I recognize that. But some of the elements of the action plan that preceded the roadmap should have been kept. You said that there was no tie-in between the roadmap and the global community development plan. The action plan called for a consultation mechanism every six months. Communities were consulted to see how things were going. Have you been regularly consulted since the roadmap was launched to see how it is being developed and rolled out?
