Mr. Speaker, in addition to eliminating the technician positions, in June the CBC will cancel the program Mer et Monde, one of few regional radio broadcasts. Moreover, CBC television has simply stopped broadcasting in my region of Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
The Conservatives' $115-million cuts to the CBC compromise the quality of information and the cultural offer in an area already weakened by job losses. The people in my region feel abandoned as a result of the cuts to the CBC.
What will the Conservative government tell them?
