Just a point of clarification. I have not heard people speak out on this issue. I have heard people by the thousands speak out on their concern for the future of the CBC. Frankly, I don't think this issue is on the top of the public's list of priorities, but that's what I've heard.
The future of CBC, however, cuts close to the bone. That taps people right at their heart. That's what matters.
I think the CBC should be open and transparent, and I do trust the Information Commissioner and the courts to protect essential journalistic practices. If the CBC is not open and transparent, it tarnishes its reputation as a broadcaster, and it gives ammunition to competitors to say we should look at what's going on. This is not helpful.
