Mr. Speaker, we are not the only ones who are concerned about the plan to bring the CBC and Radio-Canada closer together. Yesterday, the Quebec National Assembly voted unanimously in favour of a motion calling on the public broadcaster to protect the autonomy of services in French and to work to consolidate those services. We need to ensure that the CBC and Radio-Canada remain separate, not bring them closer together. When people like Catherine Tait talk about bringing the two sectors closer together, they are talking about subjecting Radio-Canada to the CBC's vision. That does not work. That is what led Michel Bissonnette to resign. How does the minister intend to protect Radio-Canada's independence from the CBC?
