The tangent lines from a point $P$ meet a circle $k$ at $A$ and $B$. Let $X$ be an arbitrary point on the shorter arc $AB$, and $C$ and $D$ be the orthogonal projections of $P$ onto the lines $AX$ and $BX$, respectively. Prove that the line $CD$ passes through a fixed point $Y$ as $X$ moves along the arc $AB$.
