Mr. John Harvard (Winnipeg-St. James):
Mr. Speaker, a supplementary question to the same Minister. I want to point out to the House that the Minister represents the same riding, the same area where I grew up.
I am not happy about that, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Harvard:

Mr. John Harvard (Winnipeg-St. James):
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are all too aware of the strike that is going on at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation involving members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. It has robbed Canadians of some of the best radio and television programming in the world. It has removed some of the most famous faces and voices from our midst, and it has delayed production of full programming at the CBC thereby depriving and jeopardizing the CBC's ability to provide quality Canadian programming.

Employees at the CBC deserve better. They deserve better than this perpetual uncertainty that goes on. What they deserve is a clear commitment from the Government of support of the Canadian broadcasting system, not support just to pick up awards.
