Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been unconscionably irresponsible in his attempts to downplay the seriousness of his minister's action. How can he claim it was the member of Parliament who took this action and not the minister? How could the chairman of the CRTC overlook the fact that the letter was sent by a member of Cabinet who also happen to be his own minister?
Does the Prime Minister not agree that the CRTC is a quasi-judicial body that, as such, should not be subject to any interference or pressure from the minister?
