Mr. Speaker, the Minister says one thing but does the opposite.
The little regard the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages has for culture can also be seen in his attitude toward the CBC. On the one hand, he assures the committee there will be no cuts to the television budget, and on the other, the president of the CBC, Hubert Lacroix, announces in a memo to his employees that he is expecting another $56 million in cuts.
If the Minister told the truth in committee, how can he explain the memo from the president of the CBC to his employees?
