With all due respect, Mr. Rodriguez, I don't think we're the devil. That sentence could mean that it had sold its soul to its board of directors, which chose to conduct a transaction that doesn't seem to suit Mr. Duchesne. Since neither you nor I were in the room, I wouldn't want to lend Mr. Duchesne any diabolical intentions or anything else of that kind related to hell.
Having said that, I also read the brief dated May 9, 2008, which is here before me. It reflects the conversations between CBC/Radio-Canada and the gala's organizers. The message that we've tried to send gala organizers over the years was that television wasn't the best medium for this kind of event. The concept of a gala that lasts three and quarter hours is very static. We suggested—and I believe we were right in doing so—broadcasting the gala on Radio Two and a summary on Radio One. That's also reflected in the brief that you read.
