The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has ordered Radio-Canada to publicly apologize for the use of the N-word on its airwaves. After hearing the word, Lamour said he had a hard time getting through his interview. N-word only used to quote book title, Radio-Canada saidWithin the two weeks of the show airing, Lamour filed a complaint with the CRTC and Radio-Canada's ombudsman. Marc Pichette, the head of promotions and public relations for Radio-Canada, said the public broadcaster would take time to analyze the ruling. "Radio-Canada recognizes that the use of the N-word is offensive," he said, adding that it's been used sparingly and carefully on its airwaves.
