Mr. Speaker, after yesterday's announcement that the government slashed CBC funding by $10 million, staff are already preparing for layoffs and cuts to programming, especially on top of earlier cuts this year to the CTF.
In February the Minister of Canadian Heritage said that new funding for the CBC was in the budget, but maybe that was used to cover lunches at fancy restaurants.
When will the government follow the call of the heritage committee's broadcasting report and implement secure multi-year funding for the CBC?
