Madam Speaker, CBC/Radio-Canada plays an essential role in northern Ontario, connecting isolated communities and indigenous communities and being a voice for the Franco-Ontarian community. What worries me is that we have seen over the last nine years of the Liberal government a complete abandonment of the vision for the CBC. It is listless and lost. The present management has failed. When we listen to radio, it is like we are listening to a bureaucrat tick boxes as opposed to providing the kind of top-quality service that we grew up hearing. It has put the CBC in a very weak position, and we know the member who lives in Stornoway is going to make killing the CBC job number one on the first day.
What does it mean for regions in the north, rural regions and francophone communities that the government has abandoned its vision and put CBC/Radio-Canada in such a weak position?
