Mr. Speaker, I like that. That is a good answer. We share the same objective of protecting jobs. Demanding that CBC maintain the 600 jobs it has decided to cut is the least they can do before doling out any part of the public federal budget, any amount of money. There is also the question of fairness to our private broadcasters, who are struggling even more. Both Bell and TVA have cut hundreds of jobs, and then with Meta blocking news stories, the entire news sector is hurting. So we are all for supporting the CBC, as long as the jobs are protected. However, is the minister also going to do her job to help all our broadcasters, all our written online news media, as much as the public broadcaster?
