“Conservatives want to cut funding for the CBC, but they dodged my question about the CRTC. Does the Conservative Party support the CRTC or not?”
“Mr. Speaker, it has been an interesting learning process in terms of what the Conservative members have been speaking about this morning. There is definitely a reaffirmation in terms of a lack of commitment to the CBC, as an example, and reaffirming their commitment to take away financing. When I asked the former speaker about their position on the CRTC and its future here in Canada, that question was sidestepped. I am very much interested in trying to flush out the Conservative position on the CRTC as an arm’s-length organization of the Government of Canada. Does the member or does the Conservative Party support the CRTC in general?”
