Mr. Luc Harvey (Louis-Hébert, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, can the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women tell us whether Guy Fournier, the chairman of the board of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, still has the confidence of the government, given the statements he has recently made in the media?
Hon. Bev Oda (Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Fournier was appointed as chair of CBC Radio-Canada by the previous Liberal government. He has increasingly lost the confidence of Canada’s new government.
I would inform the House that I have received the voluntary resignation of Mr. Fournier effective today. This will enable this new government to make an appointment that reflects the importance that we put on the role of the chair of CBC Radio-Canada.
CBC=Chopping Block Central (and I'm all smiles)
The following exchange took place in Question Period yesterday and all I can say is good riddance. Now I do have to ask the question. In light of his “resignation”, is Fournier going to pull a Dingwall and get a giant kiss off package? He is the one who made ridiculous remarks last weekend and he is the one who resigned. I certainly hope he just skulks away into the shadows to never return again.

This is a great day for the Taxpayers of Canada and the a great day for the truth to perhaps start flowing from the trenches of the CBC.
A New …Day………ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Get serious Sheldon. Don is way too important. Just what is Winnie the Pooh up to these days?

Umm, Winnie keeps getting stuck in the honey pots. That was the problem before the CPC got in.
