We certainly welcome this new person, and we hope your successor and the CBC will ensure that regions like ours have the support necessary for their CBC employees to thrive and stick around for the long term, as ought to be part of CBC's mandate.
Moving on, you've been clear that due to the Liberal threat of a 3% cut across the board, you had to lay off workers. The Liberals can go on and on all they want about the threat Conservatives are to the CBC, and they're not wrong, but it is a basic fact that this Liberal government's actions meant that hundreds of Canadians don't know where their next paycheque is coming from. Meanwhile, high-level executives got bonuses almost double what the lowest-paid workers at the CBC got.
If you could change anything about your time at the CBC, would you have given up those bonuses to save the jobs of CBC employees?
