CBC on-air staff not likely to sit down any time soon

Hubert Lacroix, the CBC president,(pictured) in a note to staff made it clear that there will no turning back to a “before Stursberg” scenario at the public broadcaster. He did not specifically say so, but it appears that the on-air people will not be sitting down any time soon.
Excerpts from his note:
“I chose Kirstine Stewart to step in as executive vice-president English services not because she was next in line but because she has the leadership skills and the expertise to keep English services driving forward as hard and as fast as possible while we run our formal recruitment process (which could take up to 9 months). She is not a caretaker. She is not a babysitter. This is not about waiting or slowing down. She is in charge, has full authority and has my complete confidence. . . We are not slowing down. . . The decision to change leadership was not a sudden decision triggered by any specific incident. And, by the way, we did not escort Richard out of the building (where do people get these rumours?)
However, you should immediately know that there is nothing (and I mean nothing) in our current programming strategies that I don't stand by: so, those out there who think this is in any way a repudiation of where we stand today will be disappointed big time. . . . “
