Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The premier of P.E.I. and the legislatures of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have called on her to save CBC local supper hour news programs. Even the Liberal House of Assembly led by her good friend Brian Tobin has called for more federal money to save their local news show Here and Now .
Will the minister admit that the decades of cuts begun by Mulroney have gone too far? Will she listen to the unanimous will of Newfoundland and Labrador and find the money to give Here and Now a future?
