Listen, I am a bit surprised here. That is your interpretation, and obviously, I don't quite share it. I am extremely surprised to hear all this talk of attacking CBC/Radio-Canada and running a smear campaign against them. The fact of the matter is that the broadcaster's Vice-President of French-language Services talked about me on air as though I were a hooligan, on three occasions. One reporter, who appeared a bit uncomfortable with the exchange, even told him that he had started a campaign against Quebecor regarding a matter that affected all Canadians at the time, the Canadian Television Fund. So, frankly, I don't need any advice from CBC/Radio-Canada on this.
That said, Sun Media reporters are doing their job. Once again, why would they refrain from investigating CBC/Radio-Canada, a crown corporation that spends more than $1 billion, simply because it may be a so-called competitor? Using that logic, no one could investigate CBC/Radio-Canada or make public information on CBC/Radio-Canada, as media information services and other crown corporations do. What is the reason behind the practice whereby Canadians are not informed of the exclusion set out in section 68.1 in order to protect journalistic sources? As I said in my presentation, we fully support that because we believe that the media needs to protect its journalistic sources. We have gone to court, at both the federal and the provincial levels, repeatedly to stand up for that very principle of protecting journalistic sources.
