I have a hard time grasping your meaning when you say that CBC will continue with the same mandate, as it has done for 60 years, despite the incredible budget cuts. In other words, the mandate will not change despite the budget cuts. I have difficulty believing that.
Let us not forget that, in 1994, when the Liberals were in power, there were cuts of $400 million. You would think that people wanted to forget that the Liberals made cuts of $400 million.
Now, the Conservative government is making budget cuts of more than $115 million. That is without counting indexed salaries and expenses, which could not be done, correct?
