moved for leave to table Bill C-384, an act to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act.
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table an act respecting the membership of the CRTC.
It is quite clear to me that the timing of the bill could not be any better given the decision today by the CRTC to go after consumers as it relates to various rates.
I am presenting a bill that will amend the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission Act to provide for representation of Canadian consumers on the executive board of the commission, to require reports of commission decisions to detail the way each commission member voted in respect to those decisions, and to ensure that the commission generally has regard to the cost effectiveness and the rights of Canada consumers, particularly as they relate to the cable production fund and the cable revolt of two years ago.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
