Mr. Speaker, again the opposition is grasping at straws.
The hon. member is correct. I did confirm that I informed Mr. Goldenberg on the status of the file. That is normal. I received no submissions. Certainly I have never discussed the matter at all with the Prime Minister. I can assure the House of that. Nor did I receive, as the member describes, any pressure from Mr. Goldenberg in any respect with regard to this file.
What I did receive were hundreds of submissions through the review panel from Canadians from coast to coast who said: "Please review the order that was issued in August by the CRTC". When the report of the panel was issued it was again supported not only by editorialists but by many of the groups on behalf of which the hon. member claims to speak in the House of Commons and committee, groups like ACTRA, the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, the Canadian Council of the Arts.
I do not understand what her problem is. If we did not listen to those groups she would be on her feet criticizing us for not having done so.
