Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed but not surprised that with all of the challenging issues facing the CBC over the next number of months the member for the Reform Party can think of nothing else but to criticize the cost of the Juneau report.
In fact, the three members involved in the Juneau report included their travel and per diem costs which were in line with others that are paid by government. They passed all Treasury Board guidelines.
What I think is really sad is at a time when public broadcasting really needs the support of the Reform Party, I wish its members would get together with the government in support of long term stable funding for the CBC.
