Canadian Heritage committee Would you say you need more people or more resources in order to more adequately fulfill your mandate?
November 23rd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee You're going to give me those 10 seconds back. Is that right?
November 23rd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Ms. Eatrides. Thank you, all, for being with us today. I would like to give you an opportunity to respond more fulsomely to the previous question. What does it mean that the CRTC is an independent quasi-judicial body?
November 23rd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee If the CRTC came up with a really well-phrased myths and facts page on new legislation, does it seem reasonable that a minister would maybe use those same lines that came from the CRTC?
November 23rd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee Thank you. I would like to go back to where you started talking about foreign interference and the implications of that for journalists on the ground. I'm wondering if you can expand on that a little more. Also, do you know how many other Canadian news organizations are actually

Canadian Heritage committee What are the risks to Canadians if CBC/Radio-Canada's funding is cut? What are the risks to our democracy, for example?
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee You mentioned that you now have a reporter on the ground in Lethbridge. I know that in Hamilton, our town, there is a really strong CBC team that is fully digital and that is able to transition to other platforms as well. How important are those digital teams to Canadians?

Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee How would you say CBC journalists reacted to hearing a parliamentarian accuse the CBC of being on the side of Hamas?
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to our witnesses for being here today to explain the journalism process to people at this committee. I'll go back to your last point, because people keep saying that this was a leaked directive from the CBC, but in fact it was just a note pointin
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee I listen to CBC coverage all the time, and I regularly hear CBC say that Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Canada. It's simply that the journalist isn't making that distinction. Is that right?
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee You're the head of CBC as a whole, so you really don't have any say in the newsroom. I've worked in many newsrooms. There's a line that separates management from the newsroom, so you're not part of those conversations in the morning, are you?
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee I'm sure you were kept apprised of this committee and the last few meetings we had. How did you feel about politicians or members of this committee trying to tell CBC how to tell the news, how to tell the stories and what words to use?
November 2nd, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee You spoke about the plan to have more outreach across the country. What about internationally? Are there any ideas to maybe collaborate with galleries around the world? I might be biased, but I think there's a lot to be gained in sharing Canadian art with the world.
October 31st, 2023Committee meeting
Lisa HepfnerLiberal
Canadian Heritage committee Fantastic. I have 30 seconds left. Maybe I'll just ask you whether you have anything else in, say, your five-year plan that you want to highlight for this committee.
