Senator Downe: Thank you. If my amendment passes, we really don’t have to trust the CRTC because there’s a penalty in it. There would be a $2 million fine for the CBC, payable to a local library in the region, for every day they cancel the service in direct violation of the Broadcasting Act.

What we found, as I stated earlier — I won’t repeat it — is that all the rules were followed, but there was no enforcement. This brings in a penalty and enforcement.
