I think it depends on your world view. If you accept the premise that the existing model of the CBC is viable, that you should have a hybrid organization that bids on the Olympics, that bids on NHL hockey games, that competes for commercial audiences, and that runs American movies, and that it will be a commercial operation and the taxpayers will give it $1.16 billion, then you don't want to screw it up by forcing it to disclose proprietary information, that is, how much it's paying Peter Mansbridge or how much it's paying Strombo. You don't want to handicap it so that it loses in the marketplace and is an even bigger burden on the taxpayer than it already is.
If you accept the premise that you ought to have a commercially competitive CBC, then you have to let it compete commercially. You don't go out and shoot it in the foot so that it does a bad job of that.
I guess the broader question is whether this particular model makes any sense in 2011. You guys didn't invite me here to hold forth on that topic, so....
