The petitioners request that parliament intervene to protect the rights of the citizens in the province. The daily CBC program <em>Here and Now</em> is essential to the culture of this very large and sparsely populated region.</p>\n<p>The petitioners feel <em>Here and Now</em> is the last vestige of the once creative and leading CBC program producing region in news, current affairs, documentaries, entertainment and variety programs. <em>Here and Now</em> is their daily communication within the province and within the country.</p>\n<p>The petitioners pray that parliament will take the appropriate action to ensure that the CBC board of directors adhere to the mandate set out by parliament and maintain at least its current level of support. I note that members opposite do not support that apparently.</p>",
