Mr. Speaker, again, all the member for Peterborough is doing is what parliamentary committees are supposed to do.
Earlier this year, the previous Speaker of the House, Peter Milliken, said that parliamentary committees can ask for whatever documents those parliamentary committees want.
The member for Peterborough is simply asking that the CBC be accountable for the taxpayers' money that it receives. That is not an attack on the CBC. That is a mandate that the member for Peterborough received from his voters to come to Ottawa and ask for accountability. He is doing his job.
Why is the NDP standing against accountability and against responsible spending at the CBC?
