Defund-CBC “narrative” is damaging: CBC president

Catherine Tait, the outgoing president of CBC/Radio-Canada, was called to testify before a parliamentary committee about $18 million in bonuses the public broadcaster shelled out to executives for the last fiscal year — while it slashed 346 jobs by laying off 141 employees and eliminating 205 vacant positions. She said the current “narrative” about defunding the CBC is more damaging to the reputation and morale of the public broadcaster than the issue of performance bonuses. #PublicBroadcaster #CdnPoli #CBCNews #CatherineTait #Canada Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/news »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS Connect with CBC News Online: For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: http://bit.ly/1Z0m6iX Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://bit.ly/3TnHioe Follow CBC News on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1sA5P9H Find CBC News on Facebook: http://bit.ly/1WjG36m Follow CBC News on Instagram: http://bit.ly/1Z0iE7O Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
