Heritage Committee Show

On October 27, Robert Rabinovich and other senior managers at the CBC were thoroughly grilled by the Heritage Committee over the lock out, past decisions and their present and future plans for the CBC. Sadly, it would appear that the show we saw in the Heritage Committee was just that. Public anger at CBC management demanded a public spanking - but that's all it was. I've contacted the Clerk of the Committee twice, as well as MPs Sam Bulte and Charlie Angus to ask for a transcript of the October 27 meeting, and to ask about Mr. Angus' bill calling for Rabinovich's resignation. I have, to date, received no reply whatsoever to any of these requests. There is also nothing on the committee's web site that would indicate that there is anything further planned on the matter.

At this point I think it is safe to assume that for whatever reason, the matter has been dropped, that the committee has no plans to pursue the matter, would rather not be reminded of it, and with an election looming the whole thing will likely vanish in a puff of indifference.

I do not know what else to add. Unfortunately, it appears that a new improved CBC has no support in the current parliament.
