Mr. Speaker, I have a petition to present today signed by over 200 of the constituents of Prince George—Peace River. They note that on the same day that the Canadian Radio Television-Telecommunications Commission refused to license four religious broadcasters it did indeed license the pornographic Playboy channel television service.
The petitioners believe that Canadians have a constitutional right to freedom of religion, conscience and expression. Therefore they call upon parliament to review the mandate of CRTC and direct the CRTC to administer a new policy which will encourage the licensing of religious broadcasters.
