Mr. Speaker, like my colleagues from Rimouski-Témiscouata, Matapédia-Matane, Gaspé and Charlevoix, I am presenting a petition for restoring Radio-Canada as it was before 1990. A great many losses have been caused by these closures, financial losses, of course, job losses and maybe most important, information losses. As politicians, we have a duty to promote our regions, but when the flow of information keeps getting cut off, how do you expect us to sell a region when we do not have the means to
talk about it? It is important and this situation must be corrected.
On behalf of more than 1,000 people who signed the petition that I am tabling today, we ask that it be restored, as it should be anyway.
