Mr. Speaker, a quote:
We have said that we will maintain or increase support for the CBC. That is our platform and we have said that before and we will commit to that.
Who said that in Vancouver on CBC News on May 3, 2011? It was the former heritage minister, now the Minister of Industry.
Why did the Conservative government's budget 2012 take a hatchet to Canada's national broadcaster, slashing $150 million from the CBC budget? Why did it break its promise?
