Thank you.
One of the anonymous messages that I received refers to the use of NDAs by the CBC as “an ironclad policy that is enforced by CBC's legal department”.
One of the people who reached out was a journalist who was dealing with a trauma-related injury as a result of the type of stories they were being asked to cover. After taking a pause from their job to heal, they returned to work with a request for accommodation, something that CBC was unwilling to accommodate. CBC eventually fired them, beginning a long fight for compensation. CBC refused to take responsibility for the injury. Not only that, despite this person's saying to the CBC that they couldn't do their job, CBC management reached out to their insurance provider to get the person's benefits cancelled, saying that they could do their job. This person felt this was retribution. It's hard to imagine otherwise.
Under your leadership, Ms. Tait, is it CBC's policy to punish employees who became disabled on the job and spoke out?
