after years of plummeting ratings and
conservative criticism the CBC hoped an advisory panel could spark its reinvention The Advisory panel features predictable cast members like liberal professors Arts cronies and CBC loyalists they'll turn out Tire plot lines to modestly freshen up a stale formula real risks and fresh perspectives won't make the script however the cbc's issues lie much deeper than some Yes Men attempting to fix all of it with conservatives loudly advocating defunding the CBC this initiative appears primarily aim at political Optics rather than instituting real change the liberal government can claim it is taking action and buying time while avoiding difficult decisions on the public broadcaster's future but this move just essentially means that Trudeau knows his fun that the CBC is over and that it's time to toss them out and find a new shiny toy welcome back to Street politics Canada before we start today's video take a quick second to subscribe to our UK based Channel Street politics UK where we report daily uncensored UK news and how the unfolding political landscape can impact Canada you can find the link in the description below the liberal funded and corrupt Public Broadcasting Company known as the CBC to unamused Canadians is just acknowledging now that it needs a lot of work done to change course and fix its abysmal reputation and Fallen numbers you would think with a statement like this the CBC has listened intently to the conservatives advice and are moving towards a more inclusive and unbiased reporting that doesn't rely on bowing down to Trudeau or any of the liberal establishment right well what if I told you they actually doubl P down thinking this will be your Saving Grace imagine if you are a Broadcasting Company that is being criticized by every Canadian and conservative for pring the liberal agenda and Publishing lies about the opposition your reputation is absolutely in the gutter at the moment with no serious professionals or experts showing you any form of respect now imagine you innocently think you have an opportunity to circumvent all that but you run back to the same liberal government that put you in your position in the first place this is basically how the CBC thought they could win but what exactly will Trudeau and the liberals do besides waste more taxpayer money on this failing Media Company create an advisory panel full of Yes Men of course because the CBC really needed an advisor fueling the cycle of bias and misinformation creating an advisory panel does nothing other than pave the way for Trudeau to toss out the CBC and look for other broadcasting companies that can spin his crap without all the public backlash he knows Canadians have caught up with the cbc's liberal agenda and he knows it is too late to fix things The Advisory panel was specific tasked with helping the CBC adapt to the digital age it feels like a much more polite way to state that the company is incompetent in its main job and can't get people to tune in especially young Canadians who true do is of course trying to court heavily through every medium however a closer look at the panel's composition reveals it is stacked with CBC allies and liberal Elites so perhaps Trudeau is not so ready to let go of the CBC after all or perhaps this is all a game that we average Canadians are yet to learn the details of at first glance and in an already disrupted media landscape that sees the truth truth and the factual rise to the top it seems that this group is unlikely to recommend the Bold reforms needed to make the CBC relevant I mean we have on the advisory panel people like Jesse Wy who is currently the chair of the Canada Council for the Arts this government funded Arts organization has a long collaborative relationship with the CBC and Jesse Wy himself worked for two decades under CBC is not out of the realm of reality a suggests that what this Council funds in terms of programs will end up getting extensive and favorable coverage on CBC platform forms a conflict of interest and a clear bias in the first name like never seen before other panelists include liberal professors a CEO for a BC video game industry group and other liberal TV Executives with some being famous for publishing LGBT content in media now tell me exactly where is the Exquisite and undeniable digital media expertise present in this panel that is going to save the CBC from being defunded there is no need to answer because the information provided on this abysmal advisory panel speaks for itself very clearly these are not the kinds of individuals that will revive the CBC and take it on a marathon through the digital era the cbc's problems are very much deeper than just being out of touch and embarrassingly incompetent the CBC is directly funded by the hard-earned money of the same people at lambas for their conservative choice and yet even after all the taxpayer money being funneled and wasted away on a stagnant entity the CBC always finds itself meaning more and more simply put all the money that should go into the company its development its projects and so on and so forth is in fact going into the pockets of the top Executives as bonuses for doing absolutely nothing but kiss Trudeau's hand to praise him on a daily basis and then Katherine Tate has the audacity to act ignorant about all the bonuses and the money while using stalling strategy straight from the Playbook of Trudeau himself as she's been questioned by conservative MPS Miss Tate in December on the 4th you announced that 800 jobs would be cut from the CBC 600 individuals would be fired and 200 vacancies would not be filled totaling 800 um at that time you were asked whether or not Executives would be given bonuses for 2023 you said you weren't ruling it out when you came to this committee you have confirmed once again that you were not ruling it out in fact you confirmed that a decision would be made by the end of March now it's uh me and so I'm curious are you going to be awarded a bonus for 2023 as I said at the time um Madam chair as I said at the time uh we have a process which is very rigorous uh after internal deliberations with the board of directors at our June board meeting once we've had a chance to present the audited financial statements there will be a discussion and we will inform employees at that time of the decision that is taken uh M Tate an access to information was put forward by the taxpayers Federation um and asking for those 2023 bonus amounts uh the CBC responded by saying that they would provide those but not until May 10th um today is May 7th and so I'm curious if 3 days prior you would be able to give those numbers here I'm sure you have them you just have not agreed to release the documents yet however I did write you a letter I gave you a heads up so I'm curious if you'd share them here and I and I thank you I thank um The Honorable member from Lethbridge for the opportunity to clarify a lot of misinformation that has been circulating regarding performance pay in 22 CBC I I think there might have been a misunderstanding I'm not asking about 2023 um the ask the fiscal year 234 ask 2023 that decision with regard to bonuses was made in March those are your you decisions would be made Madam chair just for clarification is Miss Thomas asking about the fiscal year 2223 or 2324 just so that for avoidance of doubt that's not a point of order that's not a point of order Madam chair well I but I think he clarifying the question so it's a point of clarification I think Miss Tate wishes to know what year you're referring to years go from one year to another April to April I trust my time was stopped yes the time is stopped thank you um I'm referring to the fiscal year of 2023 which ended in so that's actually the fiscal year of 2324 and for that year we have not issued any performance pay because we have not yet reviewed the final results of the year that ended on March 31st 24 so miss Tate you are head of the management team you confirmed at our last committee meeting that it is you and your management team that make that decision with regards to bonuses that are given out you confirmed that that decision is made at the by by no later 2024 and you then made the comment that the board would have to sign off on that recommendation in June so I under that I understand that the sign off is coming up but you do know what the recommendation is so as of the end of 2024 what is the recommendation for your previously these conversations are subject to internal deliberations by the management team to the board of directors we have not had that conversation with the board that is scheduled for June 12th and 13th we will have that conversation at which point the final results will have been audited and reviewed by the auditor general we don't simply precipitously pre-announce results when we haven't had the privilege of the auditor and our and our internal audit process um so those again those final results are being assembled right now and they will be made available as after have you been assigned a bonus for 2023 I realized the board hasn't signed off on it but have you been assigned a bonus for 2023 you have not been assigned a bonus for 2023 I have not so for 2023 there is no bonus coming your way I do not know that I have a bonus because the process as we have described for governor and councel positions is separate from performance pay my process is that I will be evaluated by the board of directors a letter of recommendation will go to the government and the government will reflect upon whether or not I or other uh Pointes would receive any performance has has the board package for that June meeting gone out no no okay because you are a member of that board I am so you not only have a say with regard to bonuses for the top Executives yourself included you have a say not only in March when you're a member of the management team the most senior member of the management team but then you get a second say at the board level so with all due respect you do have a fair bit of power in terms of bonuses so I'll ask again will you be up for a bonus at in the consideration uh at the board June as I've said previously there's a this is part of a internal deliberation it's an HR function and we have to be respectful of the governance that rules CBC Canada but you do know the answer I until I've had that and until I've had those deliberations with the board of directors I cannot preemptively say what the results of a convers a future conversation will be9 you know what the recommendation is you know what the recommendation is going forward to the board i' I think I've repeated myself enough to say these are matters that concern the organization that operates at arms length like all Crown corporations and I have to be respect the senior member of the management team which makes the decisions and then those decisions get recommended to the board which you are a member of the board therefore you have access to information of order Madam chair Madam chair this question has been asked I think six times now which brings us to the cbc's other issue which is the deep relationship with Trudeau and the Liberals that close a lot of avenues of thoughtful discussion and Analysis that could be had by the CBC and for the CBC this CBC trudo relationship has led to the broadcasting and media company's worst articles that take obvious Jabs at PV and the conservatives this was pretty evident with pv's visit to some anti-carbon tax protesters being reported and signaled as if he had a secret meeting with white supremacists the whole debacle was a clear-cut exposed for the bias the CBC has towards Trudeau and the Liberals Paul Young simply stopped to chat with protesters near the Nova scotian New Brunswick border this group opposes carbon taxes a stance the conservative leader shares putting two and two together is not that hard but apparently it is a Monumental task for for the CBC who saw a white supremacist group sticker in the back of one of the photos and thought that PV was aware and accepting in a democracy opposition leaders frequently visit protesters and criticize the government but the CBC implies dissent now equates to extremism I guess that's the trudo effect rubbing off hard on them Canadians deserve an honest review of public broadcasting starting from a blank slate not Insider tinkering aimit self-preservation especially when the problems are clearly deeper than just a lack of progress or transition to the digital media either make the case for a reformed CBC adapted to today's needs or have the courage to pull the plug but don't insult citizens with a sham review by CBC apologists who will only recommend more of the same Canadians deserve better well that's all for now do you think this advisory panel will help the CBC in any way what do you make of the selection on
