News Summary:

On April 2, 2026, an investigation by Radio-Canada’s *Enquête* programme uncovered a major Quebec producer diluting maple syrup with cane sugar and selling the fraudulent product to grocery chains, employing a sting operation with false identities and covert recordings. This followed the program’s initial discovery on April 1 that bogus maple syrup was on store shelves in Quebec, a situation the province's maple syrup testing lab deemed a first, with the producer blaming out-of-province suppliers. Previously, on March 16, 2026, Radio-Canada reported on significant issues with Quebec's new digital health record pilot project, citing confidential sources who revealed software designed for the American system contained translation errors and inefficiencies that could severely delay patient care. On the same day, Radio-Canada requested Prime Video pause subscriptions for its 24-hour French-language news channel ICI RDI. The public broadcaster stated this move aims to finalize discussions with Canadian distributors to offer ICI RDI's signal via subscription on its streaming service ICI TOU.TV, following concerns raised by Quebec MPs at a Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage meeting.
