One moment please. Here is a copy of the letter.
I'll just read it back, if you don't mind:
On behalf of CBC Television, I would like to express our concern and regret over the reaction to last Monday's broadcast of performances which took place during the Canadian Songwriters' Hall of Fame Gala. The broadcast, in trying to represent in 44 minutes activities which took place over three hours, did not include performances from all inductees and specifically there were no Francophone artists included. The entire musical presentation of all participants was made available on CBC English Radio 2 on Sunday evening. It was our view that the broadcast, on CBC's English language network and directed at an anglophone audience, should focus on music and musicians most familiar to that audience.
That's what we've been talking about all morning. I know you disagree with that view, but that was our view; I'm just saying.
Upon reflection and based upon the negative reaction to the television broadcast, we acknowledge that we could have done a better job of reflecting the full diversity of the participants.
