Mr. Speaker, my question is for the heritage minister.
The committee in charge of reviewing the mandate of the National Film Board, Telefilm Canada and the CBC has postponed until January 15 the tabling of the report that was supposed to be released today.
The Quebec motion picture and television production industry is very disturbed by rumours of Telefilm Canada being dismantled. In a letter to the Prime Minister, spokespersons for this industry have condemned the government's plans to abolish Telefilm.
How can the minister reconcile delaying the tabling of the Juneau report until January 15 when budgetary decisions have to be made now about three major Canadian cultural institutions, namely the National Film Board, Telefilm and the CBC?
