Bridge Financing Motion Passes
Several ministers debated an opposition motion for bridge financing and additional funding to the CBC Tuesday in the House of Commons.
“We are now going to see cuts that are so deep that there’s no coming back from,” Charlie Angus, the NDP’s heritage critic said.
The motion, which included recommendations for additional funding, is here.
The motion was carried 136 to 126. That doesn’t mean that the CBC will receive more money, it was an non-binding opposition motion – simply a gesture of support from parliamentarians.

One interesting bit there – the Conservative zombie just replied to the Liberal zombie’s point about service cuts in the regions by quoting Richard saying that the cuts wouldn’t affect services, and contrasting that with the executive reaction to previous cuts.
Thanks for the heads-up!
