HonestReporting Canada and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs Satisfied with Outcome of Meeting with V-Network’s Management

On February 1st, representatives from the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and HonestReporting Canada met with the senior management of V-Network, which expressed its disapproval of Stéphane Gendron’s comments on Jews and Israel.

At the close of a positive and very constructive discussion, we are fully convinced of V-Network’s determination to ensure that its airwaves are not used as a platform for discriminatory statements.

We are pleased to have established a relationship of mutual trust with V-Network, which will help prevent the recurrence of unacceptable statements.
