Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the witness for appearing today, as an individual, after a highly abnormal House of Commons motion passed by the opposition parties, which called for Madame Bouchard to appear.
Madame Bouchard, you were asked to appear before us today before you've even begun your appointment. As I understand it, that will be on January 3, 2025. You are now being asked to answer questions for a longer amount of time than most individual witnesses. From the last series of questions, it is clear the Conservatives want to entrap you into saying something about CBC/Radio-Canada even before you start your job as CEO.
For the record, Madam Chair, I'd like to state that some of us in this room believe it is ridiculous to ask someone to comment on a situation they haven't even had a chance to be briefed on or on a job they haven't even started working in.
I will ask questions, perhaps, on your past role.
If I may, I will continue in French.
I'm going to ask you a question about heading a broadcaster you know very well.
Can you provide us with details on your experience at the head of TV5 Québec Canada, as well as on the projects you were able to oversee as CEO?
