Mr. Speaker, God forbid Canadians sign a petition.
If my colleague wants me to adopt the Liberal position on the CBC, that radical right-wing paper, TheToronto Star, said that the CBC was treated shabbily by the Liberal government, downsized, underfunded, abandoned. Another newspaper said that the Liberal policy toward the CBC was to gut it, kick it in the teeth and leave it hanging by a thread.
That is the Liberals' policy. They cut the CBC by $400 million. If the member's position is that we should adopt the Liberal position, maybe he should put a petition forward on that.
