Mr. Chair, I want to clarify this issue. The minister has stated twice now that it was a wish expressed by the minister. It was not a wish expressed. It was a statement in the Montreal Gazette , a public statement by Denis Coderre. It was not a wish. It was a statement to the Italian Canadian community that RAI International would be made available in Canada regardless of what the CRTC decided.
I want to ask the minister, does she stand by her word that it was a wish or does she recognize that her former minister and colleague actually made a statement that contravened her own policy with respect to the CRTC?
