Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage. The president of the CRTC has said that if private carriers do not voluntarily choose to carry French CBC Newsworld then action will be taken to impose it.

This decision is another example of misguided government intervention. Why will the minister not let the free market determine what Canadians want to see on television?
