Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Canadian Heritage confirmed he had received a letter from the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadiennes asking him to intervene through the governor in council, in order to change a decision by the CRTC regarding the French all-news network.
Now that he has a letter from the fédération, does the Minister of Canadian Heritage intend to defend the interests of the fédération himself, in cabinet and recommend that cabinet act on this request and demand that the CRTC change its discriminatory decision as soon as possible?
