Hubert Lacroix apologizes for $30K expenses error

From the CBC web page: "Lacroix was also questioned about a paid speaking engagement by Mansbridge, the CBC's chief correspondent. Liberal Senator Terry "Mercer asked whether the engagement complied with the CBC's conflict of interest policy.
"Lacroix said all of Mansbridge's speaking engagements are cleared with senior CBC management ahead of time.
"'And each one is looked at to make sure there is no conflict of interest with respect ... to editorial coverage and to make sure that our rules are respected," Lacroix said.
"He knows that he never offers up his opinion or takes a position on anything that is in the news when he makes those speeches.'"
