Mr. Speaker, the government has plunged Canada into a disastrous economic situation. Jobs are being lost, the deficit is growing, and the government is just making it up as it goes along.
Now the government has come up with a new idea. Some genius somewhere has decided to hold a fire sale of government assets—our institutions—and privatize them.
This includes CBC/Radio-Canada and the National Arts Centre. They have decided to sell some of the essential components of our very own culture.
Is the minister going to understand that our culture was not for sale yesterday, is not for sale today, and will never, ever be for sale?
