QUESTION PERIOD — Canadian Heritage
Media Support
February 14, 2024
I would like to come back to the Bell Media layoffs. Liberal MPs have decided to invite the company’s CEO to appear before the Canadian Heritage Committee. Is this going to be another round of what we saw with the major grocery store chains, in the hopes of glossing over the Justin Trudeau government’s lack of economic vision?
May I ask the Senator to repeat the question? I did not quite understand it.
I will give Senator Dagenais a chance to repeat the question, and I’ll go to Senator Plett, even if I’m over the allotted time.
Senator Dagenais, could you repeat the question, please?

Thank you for the question. I was not clear about the topic, for some reason. What happened at Bell Media is deplorable, as the Prime Minister pointed out. It is important that Bell executives answer the government’s questions to explain how, with the profits they are making, they can make such a decision at the expense of employees and their families.
