Mr. Speaker, I will repeat this in English. What was just said is absolutely false.
As we all know, CBC/Radio-Canada has a mandate to offer both French and English broadcasting, and that falls under the act itself.
Now, when it comes to its president's comments, with respect to declining viewership, that is one of its key challenges. When we talk about viewership, it is up to the CBC and Radio-Canada to provide viewership and programming that Canadians are interested in.
In the meantime, this government has given record funds. It has enough to deal with its mandate, and I encourage it to do so.
