OTTAWA – An attempt by the Conservatives to summon CBC top executives over the network’s refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists was blocked Tuesday by the Liberals, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP. She had specified the executives as CBC president and CEO Catherine Tait, english-services ombudsman Jack Nagler and director of journalistic standards, George Achi. That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians,” wrote Achi. Hamas has long been officially labelled a terrorist group by the government of Canada. It unveils certain ideals from the Conservative Party of Canada regarding the financing of the CBC,” said Bloc MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, adding that Parliament does not control CBC news coverage.
