Heritage Minister Josée Verner "hates" Bill C-10, a Conservative Senator was caught on tape saying in committee Apr 10.

Senator David Angus' comments were recorded by C-PAC at the Senate's banking committee, which is studying a controversial clause within Bill C-10 that would revoke tax credits for films that are "contrary to public policy."

Angus called for a two-minute break between hearings around noon Apr 10, but for a short time after he adjourned the meeting, Angus' microphone was left on. His conversation with an unidentified man was broadcast over the internet.

Of course she hates the Bill. It's backwards! The only reason the Conservatives brought it forward was so they could beat the Liberals over the head on this. Bunch of dinks!
