Madam Speaker, I know that the Conservatives are prone to vilify the CBC. It is the story of their life. Ever since I arrived here in 2019, that is all we have heard them do. If that is their position, they are welcome to it.
That said, not everything is necessarily false in our Conservative friends' sea of disinformation about CBC/Radio-Canada. There are some things that actually deserve consideration. Unfortunately, the Liberals' defensiveness makes it difficult to navigate between these two extreme positions when it comes to subjects we should be debating and discussing.
I am very uncomfortable about the bonuses Ms. Tait awarded to CBC executives, especially given the context in which this was done. I would like us to be able to discuss this context, as well as the compensation system in effect at CBC/Radio-Canada. A new mandate will soon be proposed by the Minister of Canadian Heritage. I would like us to discuss our expectations concerning this mandate.
Does my colleague from Winnipeg North agree that there are concerns about the current compensation system at CBC/Radio-Canada? Does his government agree that we should look into this to ensure that the manner in which the CBC/Radio-Canada personnel and executives are compensated is acceptable to Quebeckers and Canadians?
