Mr. Speaker, that is all well and good, but it is a little late for the CBC.
Last week, a CBC board member resigned in order to run for the Conservative Party presidency. It is a little awkward.
Are there any others who want to get into politics, or maybe become a senator? There are a number of Conservatives on the board of directors. In about a week, that board will get together to make a decision on the sale of the Maison de Radio-Canada and where the millions of dollars of public money will go.
With that consultation about to begin, does the minister think it is morally acceptable that the Conservative Party hacks will be the ones to decide the future of our public broadcaster?
