Mr. Speaker, my supplementary question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The politics of this review has tainted its outcome. The review was ordered because the original decision went against Power Corp., a company headed by the Prime Minister's son-in-law. The review panel included Robert Rabinovitch, who has personal ties to Power Corp. and the Claridge Group, and Roger Tassé, a partner in Eddie Goldenberg's former law firm. If that was not bad enough, the government tried to slip the decision by the House to avoid public discussion.
Why was the DTH review not conducted as part of the industry department's information highway hearing or the CRTC convergence hearings?
