“I want the member to show where the law gives the cabinet the power to overrule this independent regulator.”
“Madam Speaker, I am wondering if the member can provide some fact with respect to the motion itself. It concludes by saying that “the House call on the Liberal Cabinet to use their powers under the Broadcasting Act to reject the CRTC”, which is at arm’s length from government. Where in the Broadcasting Act does it say that the cabinet has the authority to do what the Conservatives believe it can do?”
