Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary said that the media fund is an excellent fund, but we still do not know how it will work. We do not know how it will be managed or what the criteria will be. The only thing we know is that, last spring, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages said that the government would subsidize what Canadians want. Going for ratings at all costs often has a negative impact on creativity, innovation and novelty. Creativity, innovation and novelty are exactly what produce wonder and enthusiasm, as well as ratings based on quality.
That is why I am urging the parliamentary secretary to pay close attention to the criteria I am proposing now.
