Mr. Speaker, after the painful repercussions caused by the cuts to the Canadian Television fund on TV production, the Minister of Canadian Heritage is repeating the offence by cutting the Canada magazine fund from $32.6 million to $16 million.
Does the minister realize that she is now doing the same thing to magazines that she did to television, and does she realize that, with these new measures, free magazines will no longer be eligible for assistance and will therefore be doomed to certain extinction?
