Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from a number of residents from my riding of Cardigan, Prince Edward Island, who have the same concern. They are certainly concerned about the CBC as a national public broadcaster and they feel they are at risk because senior management planned to hire, without restriction, temporary and contract employees. These residents of Canada in the federal riding of Cardigan call upon Parliament to help unionized employees at the CBC negotiate a fair collective agreement and protect the future of our public broadcasting in Canada.
Mr. Speaker, I also have a petition signed by residents of Charlottetown and from the constituency of Malpeque, who are also expressing concern about the same issue and contract and temporary employees and who want a fair contract for them.
