Wow. The speed with which you correct your errors is the way that you measure performance at the CBC.
We've agreed that viewership is an important metric. We've agreed that ad revenue is an important metric, as is trust.
Fewer Canadians are watching the CBC than ever before. Viewership has plummeted to half of what it was when you became CEO in 2018. Ad revenue has also crashed. In fact, it was down 31% in just one year, 2022 to 2023. Trust in media, especially in the CBC, has also declined.
The NDP talk about misinformation. The CBC has had to issue more than 100 corrections for grave errors in reporting, and that obviously has had an impact on trust.
Given all these important metrics that you have agreed on, what justification do you have for issuing performance awards?
