Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for your question.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, the notice was given on February 8.

Canadian Heritage committee  They proceeded thereafter, but it's not—

Canadian Heritage committee  There were 4,800, so it was staged over several weeks.

Canadian Heritage committee  That, I don't have the exact data for—

Canadian Heritage committee  In some cases, the employees had their individual meetings and were given specific notice on days and weeks after February 8. In that respect, for those employees, the information would have been shared with them days or weeks later.

Canadian Heritage committee  That's correct. That's what I specifically answered in respect of the prior question, which is that we gave notice to the Government of Canada but also 16 weeks' salary continuance to all employees who were affected, even those otherwise would not have had—

Canadian Heritage committee  We continue to deliver more news than we ever have before. We have 35% more national news correspondents than when we began the 2023 restructuring, which has been referred to throughout our time together. We've grown Noovo Info in Quebec by 25% since we launched it in 2021. We, for the first time, will have, as I've mentioned, journalists in all 10 provinces, whereas before we did not.

I am very proud of the very talented group of diverse journalists that we have across the country. The job reductions were kind of difficult and unfortunate. A smaller number of the broader number affected Bell Media directly, but we have the same percentage of diverse journalists now as before, and we have a lot of phenomenal accomplishments and success stories, like Sandie Rinaldo, who celebrated 50 years on air.

Canadian Heritage committee  No. I would think it is an issue that we take very seriously. If there are incidents, we will investigate them and make sure they are addressed, but, more broadly, we seek to do better each and every year. We want to have as diverse a workforce as possible at all levels of the company—men, women, and, of course, talent and employees who are Black, indigenous and people of colour.

Canadian Heritage committee  I don't have the specific numbers at my fingertips, but we could file that with the clerk.

Canadian Heritage committee  Are you referring to, again, the unionized, non-management employees, or the management groups? The management groups would have had individual—

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, I'm not sure why the honourable member phrases the question in that manner. I did indicate that, as it relates to Bell Media, we have the same percentage of diverse journalists now as we did prior to the restructuring. As it relates to how we communicate with employees, there were individual meetings.

Canadian Heritage committee  None of us has a crystal ball as to how the world will unfold over the next period of time.

Canadian Heritage committee  We've invested massively in the delivery of news. We're actually delivering more news than we ever have in more ways than—
