Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Chambly—Borduas for his speech and his work as sport critic. He clearly said that this issue affected him personally. He is truly passionate about anything related to sport.
I read the report and recommendations. I know it was a lengthy undertaking, and I congratulate the committee members, particularly my colleague, for their hard work. During question period, he questioned the government about the impact of cuts to the CBC. Point 3.6 of the report refers to the media and social media. It says that arranging media coverage is an important part of the preparations.
Since my colleague is very familiar with this file, I would like to know whether this issue was looked at in committee.
Was there any consideration given to the potential impacts of cuts to the CBC or elsewhere?
With respect to the media, how will these cuts affect athlete performance when it comes to amateur and Paralympic sport?
