Madam Speaker, I am not going to get into a discussion about the wording of amendments and subamendments, because I already take great issue with the political manoeuvring that goes on when we address this issue. For example, yesterday, the member for Mégantic—L'Érable made a post on X in which he says, “The Bloc Québécois just voted with the Liberals to hand out bonuses, including one for the CBC president, who allowed a podcast to be dubbed in France because the CBC didn't like the Quebec accent! Once again, the BLOC is backing [the Prime Minister] and his friends, instead of Quebec.”
We voted against a motion that would have seen the House—and even worse, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage—interfere in the management of CBC/Radio-Canada. Meanwhile, these same Conservatives complain about the Liberals who, they claim, use CBC/Radio-Canada as a vehicle for their ideas. They are inconsistent there, too.
That said, I think my colleague from Winnipeg North clearly understood from my speech that I place great importance on CBC/Radio-Canada, and on Radio-Canada in particular, as a vehicle for francophone culture and as a driver of Quebec's cultural industry.
