Mr. Speaker, on the one hand, CBC/Radio-Canada CEO Catherine Tait assures us that programming and management will not be affected by a merger between CBC and Radio-Canada. On the other, it is understood that everything has already been merged, except programming and management. Her merger plan, she says, is meant to align the sectors and find solutions together. Finding solutions together does not work. It means that CBC management is imposing its vision on Radio-Canada. Why is the minister refusing to protect Radio-Canada's independence from CBC's anglophone management?

Mr. Speaker, the member opposite talked about the importance of increasing competition, and I do agree with that. However, it does not seem consistent with the actions of the government that approved the Shaw merger with Rogers and the acquisition of the HSBC bank by RBC. These things are definitely not increasing competition. Could the member explain how that is consistent with the Liberal government's direction?
