Mr. Speaker, in this country we have two official languages, French and English. I respect that. I believe that our country should continue with that, but to equate the existence of the CBC with the existence of a bilingual nation seems a little odd.
We do not need the CBC in order to remain a respected bilingual country. We can have two respected languages, two official languages, in this country, and we can respect speakers of both languages. We do not need the CBC. The vast majority of Canadians would agree.
