Mr. Speaker, when people are calling for someone's resignation, it is probably not a good time for them to go on an overseas trip. However, CBC/Radio Canada's CEO, Catherine Tait, left for Australia shortly after announcing that 600 CBC/Radio-Canada employees are being let go. I am sure everyone will agree that that shows a lack of judgment. Does the Minister of Canadian Heritage still have confidence in Catherine Tait? Does she approve of the CEO's decision to go ahead with these layoffs?

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that the minister also wants answers from the president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada, but I would remind the minister that it is her responsibility to appoint the CEO. Ms. Tait's 18-month tenure was supposed to focus on combatting disinformation. However, she is doing the opposite. The loss of 600 jobs will mean less news. We need to send a clear message. There should have been zero layoffs announced on Monday, not 600. No layoffs should have been announced, or maybe just one. If Catherine Tait does not back down on those cuts, will the minister fire her?
