Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, we found out that the Prime Minister is not Charlie. It comes as no surprise to anyone that as far as this government is concerned, freedom of expression applies only to Conservative positions.
Until recently, we knew that the Conservatives were suspicious of researchers, intellectuals, journalists and political columnists. However, during an appearance on a Quebec City talk radio show last weekend, the Prime Minister let us in on the fact that he has Radio-Canada employees—who, according to him, do not embrace Conservative ideology—in his crosshairs.
The Prime Minister revealed his true intention to get rid of this Canadian institution, which he considers an obstacle to his political party.
I believe that the Prime Minister's statements about Radio-Canada employees were out of place, unfounded and unworthy of his position.
