Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
On January 1, 1995 the CRTC launched an innovative tax grab on Canadian cable subscribers. It ignored its previous decision to issue a rebate to consumers which would have caused cable rates to decrease. Instead, half of the money will go to line the pockets of cable giants such as Rogers.
Why will the Prime Minister not protect the interests of Canadian consumers by getting rid of this hidden tax?
