My understanding—Marc-Philippe can fill in the details—is that the broadcaster wants to proceed according to its mission. CBC/Radio-Canada told us that it wanted to protect news gathering, for example. In the regions, it will be keeping people responsible for news gathering. Consequently, teams will not be able to go on the air or maintain news-focused programs—such as on RDI—because there are no more teams or equipment anywhere, whether that is in Moncton or Quebec City, where I work.
