Let me state that I believe that editorial opinion of some of the elite press in Quebec was unanimous that the CBC was biased at the time. Internal studies were conducted, which were rigorous, and found that on balance Quebeckers themselves felt the CBC had done not a bad job, but that is not a good enough standard.
In my view, each public broadcaster in every era will be faced with major political imbroglios that will have allegations of bias, political preference, and so on. This is part of what a public broadcaster does. If it is taking risks in news coverage, we expect this kind of political controversy. We need a system in place where we manage this controversy and debate its coverage, and that cannot be within the corporation only.
