Mr. Speaker, my question is for the heritage minister.
The heritage minister is attempting to justify the way its government is apportioning the cuts at the CBC by pretending that both the French and the English networks will have to make the same effort.
Can the minister explain why, in 1992-93, according to the most recent numbers available, the production costs for a one hour program were $18,000 on the French network and $37,000 on the English one?
