CBC名主持當藝術品交易掮客收取佣金遭解僱

CBC host Evan Solomon fired after Star investigation finds he took secret cut of art deals.

《星報》聲稱CBC著名主持人埃文所羅門（Evan Solomon）違規擔任藝術品交易掮客，遭CBC解僱。

CBC journalist facilitated sales of art to wealthy Canadians he dealt with in his job — including one buyer who had no idea Solomon was collecting a commission.

CBC新聞記者向其採訪對象加拿大富豪促成藝術品交易，且在買方不知情的情形下收取佣金。

CBC has fired marquee host Evan Solomon after the Star reported that he was taking secret commission payments related to art sales involving people he dealt with as a host.

《星報》報道，CBC熒屏主持埃文所羅門涉嫌對其採訪對象進行藝術交易，並從中收取祕密佣金。目前，CBC已將其解僱。

“I regret to inform you that CBC News has ended its relationship with Evan Solomon,” executive Jennifer McGuire said in a brief statement issued late Tuesday, a day after the Star presented the findings of its investigation to the network.

《星報》在網上公佈其調查結果一天後，CBC行政主管Jennifer McGuire在週二晚些時候發佈的簡短聲明中宣佈，“我很遺憾的通知大家，CBC已結束與埃文所羅門的關係”。

Solomon, 47, was the Ottawa-based host of Power and Politics on television and The House on CBC radio, and had been one of the people touted to replace Peter Mansbridge on The National when the veteran newsman retires.

所羅門曾是渥太華電視政論節目權利與政治（Power and Politics）主持人，此外，他還主持CBC廣播電臺The House節目。外界曾預期，在CBC主播曼斯布里奇（Peter Mansbridge）退休時，現年47歲的所羅門將是接任CBC主播的不二人選。

The Star found Solomon had been brokering the sale of paintings and masks owned by a flamboyant Toronto-area art collector to rich and famous buyers. Solomon, in at least one case, took commissions in excess of $300,000 for several pieces of art and did not disclose to the buyer that he was being paid fees for introducing buyer and seller.

《星報》報道，所羅門爲一位多倫多富豪藝術品收藏家擔任掮客，將一批油畫及面具賣給一些富豪、名人。所羅門僅在其中一項交易中，就獲取超過30萬美元的佣金，但買主並不知情。

The CBC had taken Solomon off the air Monday pending an investigation “over the next couple of days.” That move came after the Star presented the CBC with the results of its probe of Solomon.

CBC在“接下來幾天”的調查期間，已於週一暫停所羅門主持節目。在得知《星報》提供的調查結果後，將所羅門解僱。

The network severed its relationship with Solomon on Tuesday without further explanation. McGuire, general manager and editor in chief of CBC News and Centres, said in the statement that the network would “be making announcements about the interim hosting of these programs in the next few days.”

CBC於週二在網上公佈結束與所羅門之間的關係，並未做進一步說明。CBC新聞部主管兼主編McGuire在聲明中稱，“媒體將在今後幾天裏宣佈節目的臨時主持人。”

Among the people to whom Solomon has brokered the sale of paintings are Jim Balsillie, co-founder of Research In Motion (now BlackBerry) and Mark Carney, the former Bank of Canada governor and current governor of the Bank of England.

所羅門擔任藝術品掮客牽涉到的人員包括：原黑莓公司共同創辦人貝斯利及原加拿大央行行長，現任英格蘭銀行行長卡尼。
