Mr. Speaker, Judith Brosseau, senior vice-president of Astral Media and a member of the board of directors of the Canadian Television Fund, believes that reducing the membership of that board from 21 to 7 will have a very negative impact. On the one hand, the expertise of the industry representatives on the board will disappear in one fell swoop, and on the other, there will be a flagrant lack of independence, because broadcasters, who have their own vested interests, will appoint five of the seven board members.
Why take a stand in favour of one segment of the industry over the other? What is he hiding?
