Mr. Speaker, we have been through this a number of times.
We have demonstrated repeatedly that the action the government took both in initiating a review of the exemption order issued by the CRTC and in adopting the report of the panel of experts chaired by Mr. Ritchie has been in conformity with the views of many disinterested groups, at least in terms of the commercial interests involved. These include Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, the Consumers' Association of Canada, ACTRA, groups which really are not involved other than as important users of the system. Newspaper editorials have also asked for this response.
If the Leader of the Opposition wishes to debate this matter on the basis of process, then we will have something of substance to talk about. So far, his only attack on this has been unbased innuendo, which I think reveals more about him than it does about our process.
