Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
On the weekend we heard that the federal government was preparing to shut down Radio Canada International. According to reliable sources, cabinet was to ratify this decision without waiting for the conclusions of the Juneau report which was to examine the mandate of the CBC.
Could the Minister of Canadian Heritage tell us whether he recommended or intends to recommend that cabinet change the mandate of the CBC so as to cut the services of Radio Canada International, before the Juneau report is even tabled?
