Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I understand that there are two important paragraphs that are being deleted. I understand that my colleague has proposed to delete them.
I would like to have perhaps an explanation as to why the member feels that the following clause with regard to the CBC should be deleted, when we specifically state:
And whereas the Government of Canada recognizes that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation contributes through its activities to enhancing the vitality of the English and French linguistic minority communities and to the protection and promotion of both official languages;
Why does he believe that we need to delete this? That would be my first question. We understand his leader's position with regard to the CBC, but I'd like to hear from the member himself.
Then I would ask the same question with regard to the other paragraph he wishes to delete, Mr. Chair. Can I hear him on that?
