Mr. Speaker, we need a government that believes in supporting public broadcasting, not dismantling it.
CBC/Radio-Canada plays a unique role for both our official languages, but the Conservatives, like the Liberals before them, severely cut the budget: no more local content in minority francophone or anglophone communities. Even worse, tomorrow we expect deeper cuts.
Will the government finally commit to provide CBC/Radio-Canada with stable, long-term funding, so it can fulfill its mandate?
