Mr. Speaker, Don Cherry's insults at Quebeckers on the CBC seem to have had little effect on the vice-president of the CBC's English network, who thinks that Mr. Cherry is being paid to express his opinions.
What tolerance all of a sudden according to the CBC's ethics, when a very different decision was made in December 1989 in connection with Pierre Bourgault, whose remarks on a public affairs program were deemed inappropriate.
The issue is not about justifying or approving remarks whoever may make them, but whether the CBC has a single code of ethics.
Don Cherry's broadcast sneers at Quebeckers are unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the CBC. For all those in English Canada who share the point of view of Don Cherry, please answer the following question. What has become of the people who loved Quebec so much in October 1995?
