Mr. Speaker, does the Prime Minister realize that the CBC has already been hit by previous budget cuts, is being hit by those contained in the current budget and that it will also be hit by future budgets?
Has the Prime Minister considered whether the deep cuts that he is planning to impose on the CBC, which will apply indiscriminately to the English and French networks despite the fact that the French network outperforms the English one by a long shot, will seriously jeopardize the mandate and future of Radio-Canada?
