Mr. Speaker, I contend that our crown corporation has shown a lack of respect for us and that it has eroded our trust and our sense of belonging.
Radio-Canada is a crown corporation and also a cultural and heritage institution. It engages French-speaking Quebeckers and Canadians of all ages.
It is completely inconceivable and unacceptable to spend taxpayers' money to change what belongs to all of us as a community and linguistic minority. The more than $400,000 could have been spent on a cultural or educational program for our young people. That is why our government funds CBC/Radio-Canada across the country.
