The Case of the Well-Shot Messenger

Speaking of long, rambling, Question Period "answers":

What is happening - and that inquiry should be allowed to take its course. It should be allowed to go the process so that instead of plucking out one-tenth or one-fifth of the evidence and trying to sort of draw conclusions on that and lay blame - which the Opposition is starting to engage in. It is unfortunate. I have great respect for the hon. members opposite but the media are also playing a game. Last week, CBC, for example, basically had a question as: What do the public think, and who is to blame for this problem? Now, what kind of irresponsible reporting is that, at 20 per cent through an inquiry to talk about who is to blame at this stage of the game? They asked if politicians were to blame or physicians were to blame. A ridiculous question!

...

Now, to take that a step further, Mr. Speaker, the national news last week - and I received a call on this - the national news, last week, Peter Mansbridge, in his opening story, talked about - and I have the quote here somewhere. The National - I am just going to read you this paragraph, and I shake when I speak about this because it annoys me so much, and we have asked the CBC for a retraction of this: It is an astonishing admission from someone once in charge of the public’s health. John Ottenheimer was the Health Minister in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2005. Today he told a judicial inquiry that he knew there were serious issues with breast cancer testing years before the public did; yet, he remained silent. What’s more, the Premier’s office knew it too.

And what's that?

"I received a call on this"?

As in, he didn't watch the CBC National report himself?
