Mr. Speaker, at the present time, the entire francophone and francophile population of Quebec, New Brunswick and the rest of Canada is being deprived of essential information, both on culture and on sports, because of the lockout imposed in March by the management of Radio-Canada.
Yesterday, francophone news employees met with us and the corporation management broke off negotiations.
Since when are citizens punished for going to speak with their elected representatives?
Does the minister find this behaviour by Radio-Canada's management acceptable?
