April 20th, 2007Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee Good morning. I'm a TV producer in my other life at CBC, and I do know what a clock looks like, so I will keep my remarks to what your needs are too. I'm Lise Lareau. I am national president of the Canadian Media Guild. I'm joined by Marc-Philippe Laurin, who is the president o
April 20th, 2007Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee You've probably heard in the last few weeks all about the technological advances--the Internet, new media--and certain people are arguing that we need less. There's just more diversity out there. In my view, there's a misconception that there's more information available to every
April 20th, 2007Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee Where do I begin? I don't want to be negative about the people serving in the positions. With that in mind, I would say the lockout was probably the best example, the most black and white example. To this day, it was never clear who was going to end that lockout. Was it Canadian

Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee I'll start with this. When you have your tour at CBC this afternoon, I do hope you ask to see the design area. That is the area where there are costumes and props and where these massive sets are located. It's all shutting down May 31, but until you actually see it with your ow

Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee You may want to ask that question before your review wraps up, because this has all transpired while you've been doing your review.

May 11th, 2009Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee The cities that Marc-Philippe just mentioned are among the smaller cities in the country that have suffered most from cuts to their local media. Hamilton is another place that doesn't enjoy local CBC service and it's poised to lose its only local TV station, CHCH, owned by CanWes

Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee Listen, I'll answer further questions about this later on.
May 11th, 2009Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee First of all, to put $50 million in perspective, you're looking at a quarter of the entire budget of English radio. You're looking at a third of the budget of French radio. I mean, $50 million is a lot of money at the CBC. Let's say that the strategic review goes through and the
May 11th, 2009Committee meeting
Lise Lareau
Canadian Heritage committee My understanding is that the CBC was informed last week or the week before. The staff at the CBC were informed last week, and it should be clear that it hasn't been singled out. A lot of government departments are subject to this review. At the same time, it's strange to us tha
