Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Yesterday, the government asked the CRTC for its comments on the two draft orders relating to satellite broadcasting. The CRTC has until tomorrow to respond, although the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage is still reviewing the matter.
How can the Minister of Canadian Heritage justify the fact that the final versions of the orders have already been submitted to the CRTC for consultation, when the heritage committee has not finished discussing the recommendations it will make to the government regarding these orders?
