Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
In announcing budget cuts, the President of the CBC explained that between 600 and 1,000 positions would be eliminated before March 1996. According to him, the exact number of jobs to be cut will depend on whether or not the federal government decides to contribute to the funding of Radio Canada International.
Can the Minister of Canadian Heritage confirm that his government has decided to stop funding Radio Canada International?
