If I may suggest, I think that a lot of the reason the bonuses have become such a hot topic of discussion is because of feelings that there is a lack of CBC accountability to the taxpayer.
You said earlier that you want to be close to people's concerns and understand our country and the people of our country. I certainly would hope that it's not breaking news to you to suggest that a lot of people in our country are concerned about affordability, about things like paying a mortgage, paying rent and putting food on the table. When they see an organization that they are funding—a taxpayer-subsidized, billion-dollar organization—dishing out large bonuses at a time when viewership is in decline and overall ad revenue is in decline, it certainly feels to many Canadians that the CBC is tone-deaf and not accountable for what is happening within the organization and is tone-deaf to the broader context of what's happening in our country.
That is why I think it would be fair to assume that you might have an opinion on giving out large bonuses, even prior to all the things that you just mentioned. With your coming into your role, it would be fair for us to pose this question to you: Do you think those bonuses are fair, and would you, as the next CEO of the organization, commit to banning such practices?
