When we license someone, we don't want to tell them what kind of content to have, but we require them to adhere to certain codes that were created by the industry. There's something called the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, which administers codes that were developed by the industry. The CRTC then blessed them and added them to our standard conditions of licence for everyone. When someone has a complaint about content, they go to this independent organization, which looks into it.
Now, from my understanding about the particular complaint you've raised, it has two elements. It has a complaint that voices were silenced, and it has a complaint about internal treatment at the CBC/Radio-Canada, which is obviously a question for their management. We require that there be an equitable portrayal of all points of view, including conservative points of view. We allow that, however, to work through an independent body rather than have us declare whether a standard of fairness is met. That seems to be the best way to keep an arm's length between us, as a representative of the Canadian government, and decisions about what you put on the air.
