The question of the CBC's accountability has several facets. For its capital budget, for example, the CBC will approach the Department of Canadian Heritage and submit its capital expenditure plan to Treasury Board, and it is then approved.
At other times, when it involves the business plan or business plan summary, the approach is different. The people at the CBC will share their business plan, as they have done. The summary will be tabled in the House of Commons through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
There is a reporting structure or all sorts of legislation, be it the Official Languages Act or the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. In various regards, for various items, there is a responsibility, a reporting structure that keeps us informed. Communication is open between the government and the CBC on most of these aspects.
