Mr. Speaker, the Senate said that these orders were unconstitutional, but that the government could go ahead with them. This is some reference!
Will the Minister of Canadian Heritage admit-assuming he can answer before it is too late, since things could change between now and this fall-that if he goes ahead with his draft orders in council, he will not only undermine the CRTC's integrity and independence, but will also postpone Canada's access to direct satellite broadcasting and allow Power DirecTv, which is an American company, to maintain and expand its illegal market in Canada?
