Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Rogers, the cable television company, decided to change access to its French-language channels TV5 and Météo Média, and to cancel Musique Plus, as of Thursday of this week. These changes will significantly reduce access to French channels for francophones. This situation is undoubtedly the result of a bad decision made by the CRTC regarding RDI, a decision that the heritage minister refused to review, in spite of a request to that effect by the opposition.
Since it is also the responsibility of the minister to support francophone and Acadian communities, will he take action so that Rogers maintains those three French-language channels as part of its basic service?
