Information & Ethics committee  I'm pretty sure that will come from editorial departments, yes.

Information & Ethics committee  No, I would say they were filed by editorial departments.

Information & Ethics committee  No, we don't. I guess probably Radio-Canada/CBC itself would consider that the Access to Information Act needs to be interpreted generously, not limiting. So therefore I don't see any relation with commercial.... Because if they were to raise this, they would raise it all the time.

Information & Ethics committee  We're bound by different rules from the ones that CBC/Radio-Canada have. We have accountability to our shareholders, and we do not have the same kinds of means that the CBC has. I guess it's well known in the industry. When the private broadcaster will need one individual, CBC will come with three or four.

Information & Ethics committee  If a media company is not in position to investigate on another media company being accused of going against competition, who will be able to investigate CBC/Radio-Canada? You need to be a media company that will be able to bring this information to as big an audience as possible for Canada.

Information & Ethics committee  I'm sorry, sir, I didn't get your question. What's your question, sir?

Information & Ethics committee  I'm not trying to be either, sir. I just want to answer your question.

Information & Ethics committee  Well, that's the prétention du professeur Bernier. I don't know where he's taking this from, so....

Information & Ethics committee  I understand that he will be in front of you later, but he's absolutely wrong.

Information & Ethics committee  I don't know where he's getting this. I think this is unfortunate, you know—

Information & Ethics committee  Well, you know this company is managed by many executives, and every newspaper has a long tradition of being independent. Obviously, you know, this is not a party; this is a business, also. If we want to have something that will be able to provide Canadians with strong information, this company needs to be managed, and we're not going to—

Information & Ethics committee  We have our accountability and a responsibility to our shareholders—

Information & Ethics committee  I have nothing to answer to this. That's coming from Professor Bernier. I have nothing to say about what he is thinking or his opinion. I'm paid to manage my business, and I will continue to do so.

Information & Ethics committee  I just answered you. This is not a party. This is a business, and we're running our newspaper like any of our other businesses.

Information & Ethics committee  If you want me to give you a lecture on how I manage my business, I would need more than two minutes to do this, sir.
