Thank you for that.
Madam Chairman, I'd like to make a point very clear. The Friends of Canadian Broadcasting are not friends of CBC. We have no link with this organization whatsoever. I've never spoken to Mr. Morrison. I've never had conversations with Mr. Morrison. I don't know this gentleman.
I was actually pretty blown away when, if you look at page 5 of the same document, Mr. Morrison said:
President Lacroix recently dismissed, or constructively dismissed SRC's Ombudsman. President Lacroix has a lot of power and without the accountability.
Where did that come from? I didn't fire Julie Miville-DechĂȘne. She went to a government-appointed position and now is prĂ©sidente du Conseil du statut de la femme in Quebec, a very important organization with 80 people under her leadership. She decided to do this because it was a great opportunity for her. You just don't pick up the phone, cross the street, and become a government-appointed person of that stature without wanting this position.
This is the kind of credibility I have concerns about when Mr. Morrison.... And there's more there if you want to read it. I have an issue with those kinds of comments.
