Mr. Speaker, in fact I am reflecting on the actions of the CRTC which comes under the heritage minister. The CRTC is effectively lobbying against the passage of Bill C-216 in a place where they can stop the passage of that bill.

I ask the same question. Is the heritage minister supportive of the actions of the CRTC in attempting to squash Bill C-216?
