Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
While the francophone and Acadian communities struggle to conserve their rights with exceedingly limited financial resources, we discover that, under the 1994-95 budget, the Minister of Canadian Heritage subsidized the CRB Foundation to the tune of $2 million from official language programs in order to finance a series of historical vignettes to be broadcast on television.
How can the minister justify such a substantial grant-$2 million-to the Bronfman Foundation, which is managed by Tom Axworthy, the brother of the Minister of Human Resources Development, whereas in 1992-93, the last year the public accounts recorded a figure, this organization received only $200,000, or ten times less?
