What I hear from Canadians in reaction to the current CEO, Ms. Catherine Tait's appearance before this committee, and also last week's appearance by the incoming CEO, Madame Bouchard, is a concern that no real answers were given in terms of any sort of accountability.
At this committee, we can point to ad revenue dropping, viewership dropping and trust in the CBC dropping, and there's no sense of, "Okay, we have to do something differently.”
Instead, we see them lining up and saying that they just need hundreds of millions more dollars. I do think that has created an impression—in my view, accurately—among a lot of Canadians that there's just not a lot of respect for the taxpayer and that there needs to be some value delivered in exchange for all of that money being given to the organization.
What's your view on that?
