CBC News represents the very highest standard of journalistic conduct and ethics. The decision was made before the article was published. Our announcement was made public shortly after the Toronto Star published its story. On Tuesday, we made the decision to discontinue our relationship with Evan Solomon. Based upon information from our own review, it was determined that Evan’s activities were inconsistent with our conflict of interest and ethics policies, as well as our journalistic standards and practices. On Monday, a Toronto Star reporter approached us with allegations which, if true, significantly changed our understanding of the situation. As you know, under the terms of our collective agreement, CBC employees have the right to earn income outside CBC. We told him, and he assured us, this could not conflict in any way with his work for CBC News.

Ending our relationship with Evan Solomon was upsetting for me and many other colleagues in CBC News. Unfortunately, this has turned into another difficult week. The National Post on Wednesday obtained an internal CBC memo regarding Solomon’s dismissal sent by the news network’s editor-in-chief Jennifer McGuire, which is reproduced below. Solomon has issued a statement through his lawyer saying he “did not view the art business as a conflict with (his) political journalism at the CBC.” Within an hour of publication, the CBC announced it was “ending its relationship” with Solomon, host of CBC News Network’s Power & Politics and CBC Radio One’s The House. According to the Star, Solomon used his journalistic connections to rich and powerful people to facilitate the sale of high-priced artwork by his business partner, Ottawa art collector Bruce Bailey, on which Solomon then collected a 10 per cent commission.
