Do they have beds at Radio-Canada?

Howdy!

Because Marie Chouinard was interviewed on Sunday on a TV show there, and then again yesterday morning on the radio. Both interviews were under seven minutes long. Based around her being la Personnalité de la semaine La Presse/Radio-Canada, and in my estimation René Homier-Roy is a better interviewer than Louis Lemieux, although that's not saying much...

And since Radio-Canada doesn't do embedding click on these to hear and see the interviews:
