CBC won’t release director’s expenses

By ALTHIA RAJ, Parliamentary Bureau
Last Updated: October 10, 2010 6:39pm

OTTAWA — The CBC is refusing to release information about a senior television director’s travel and duty entertainment expenses — a move critics decry as unlawful and the latest effort by the public broadcaster to avoid accountability to taxpayers.

CBC blanked out 110 full pages of expense reports filed by Louise Lantagne in fiscal 2008-09 and 2009-10 relating to meals, hotel, travel and duty entertainment after a request by QMI Agency.

CBC has previously disclosed expense reports by its top executives such as President Hubert Lacroix and Radio-Canada head Sylvain Lafrance without withholding costs.

Expense claims allowed QMI Agency to report that in Radio-Canada senior managers spent $1,400 on booze during two-day retreat in 2006 and that Lafrance had blown nearly $80,000 that year on travel, duty entertainment and corporate donations to support Quebec artists.

[...]

The public broadcaster is also refusing to hand over documents to the information commissioner so the watchdog can check whether the CBC is fairly excluding documents or simply trying to avoid embarrassing information from leaking out, he said. ...

Come to think of it, the CBC is special.  It is state-owned.  Socialism-reliant.  Taxpayer-funded.  So they should be treated differently.  For example, they should be eliminated. 

PRESCRIPTION

State-owned and state-run media should be banned in this country and all free countries.  And that notion should be enshrined in our constitution.
