Mr. Speaker, the CBC documentary on the bombing of Germany during World War II entitled "The Valour and the Horror" is an unbalanced portrayal of Canadian servicemen.
Thousands of Canadian airmen gave their lives during this war and I know from personal experience the sacrifices they and their families made. My father, who was a navigator in the RCAF, gave his life overseas during this war.
The Senate committee found serious inaccuracies in this docudrama and strongly recommended that CBC fulfil its promise to the Canadian public not to rebroadcast "The Valour and the Horror" in its original form, yet CBC has refused to listen.
I am personally outraged that CBC, funded by taxpayers, intends to rebroadcast this production which completely distorts history and casts a dark shadow on our brave airmen.
