moved for leave to introduce Bill C-307, an act to amend the Broadcasting Act (designation of cable channels).
Mr. Speaker, this bill once passed will amend the Broadcasting Act to put an end to the practice of the CRTC directing that cable companies must provide specific channels in the range of 2 to 13 which causes constant disruption to people's cable ranges in the major cities. It would end the political correctness once and for all and allow the cable companies to provide channels in that range based on market demand and viewer preference.
