Mr. Speaker, the CBC is essential for the north because there are a lot of places private broadcasters will not serve.
My other concern is around land claims negotiations and the price we pay for them. Our other alternative is to go to court. When we go to court that means we have no control as politicians or as people. We cannot be a part of a legal process. Therefore we would have absolutely no say in or any control over what we would pay.
Would the member rather we take all our treaties to court to have them negotiated rather than have a process that we can actually be involved in?
