“Quebec shows us how important arts and culture are to our identity. Organizations like the CBC and the CRTC protect our culture and both our official languages across Canada. I want to know what the member thinks about these independent groups.”
“Madam Speaker, as I indicated earlier, I genuinely believe that Quebec leads the nation in terms of demonstrating just how important culture, heritage and arts programming are to our overall identity. When I think of the CRTC or CBC, whether it is TV or Radio-Canada, these are important institutions that are there to protect one of the things that Canadians value very much, the fact that we are a bilingual nation. I always appreciated, for example, that CBC has both French and English throughout the country. Things of that nature are positive. I wonder if the member could provide his thoughts on that aspect of these independent, stand-alone organizations.”
