moved for leave to introduce Bill C-340, an act to amend the Broadcasting Act (termination of CBC's television operations).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to introduce these three private members' bills. The bills are part of our package to privatize the CBC.
One of the bills amends the Access to Information Act and would make the CBC more accessible to Canadians. Presently it is exempt from the Access to Information Act and the bill would end that exemption.
I would ask you, Mr. Speaker, to continue. The explanations as you read them are self-explanatory.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
