In an exchange during the Marc Lemire case, lead CHRC investigator Dean Steacy was asked "What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate?"
CJAD broadcasts with 50,000 watts in the daytime and 10,000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations using the 800 frequency, such as the country-formatted CJBQ in Belleville, Ontario, the moribund CHRC in Quebec City (which is approximately 250 miles 160 km away and has shut down in September 2012), and CKLW in Windsor, Ontario.
