I will be very brief.
First of all, I'm very much in support of what Mr. Champoux is trying to do here. Given that the Minister of Sport is coming next week, I especially appreciate the fact that we're doing this in the first meeting back, so that we do not take away that time with the Minister of Sport that we've all been asking for.
I agree with Mr. Julian. As a former CEO, I cannot possibly imagine having fired employees before Christmas and then contemplating taking a bonus. I think there are a lot of questions the CBC needs to be asked by Canadians and by this committee. As everyone in this room well knows, the government does not control the CBC; therefore, we can't tell them what to do, but I think it's very important for us as parliamentarians to ask Ms. Tait those very questions when she does appear, including questions about the appropriateness of executives contemplating bonuses.
Again, it is not for government to direct her, but I think it's important for us to ask her these difficult questions, because it's important that they be asked on behalf of Canadians.
