Mr. Martin Champoux (Drummond, BQ)

Mr. Speaker, CEO Catherine Tait announced that CBC/Radio-Canada is laying off 600 employees. This is a catastrophe. It is a catastrophe for news and regional information. It is a catastrophe for Quebec culture and democracy, and of course it is a catastrophe for Radio-Canada creatives. Catherine Tait's chosen approach is like water torture: Waves of layoffs stretching out over months, leaving everyone feeling like they could get the boot at any second. It is disgusting, yet the executives have the gall to give themselves holiday bonuses. Shame on them. Does the Minister of Canadian Heritage still have confidence in Catherine Tait?
