Mr. Speaker, the problem with the hon. member's thesis is that it is wrong. Our order did not favour anyone. We proposed that the CRTC create a licensing system for everyone. We did not ask the CRTC to favour a specific group, company or individual.
The exemption order does that. It is an exemption order which is not subject to any appeal. It exists for a very limited purpose within the statute.
We have set in process a means of determining a policy which we think will be better in the interest of Canadians and the interest of consumers.
I have yet to hear from the hon. member whether he disagrees with the expert panel, whether he disagrees with Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, whether he disagrees with the Consumers Association of Canada, all of whom say this is what we should be doing. That is the advice we are taking, not his.
