If CTV reports it at all, they'll take credit for her successful career.

My guess is CTV will stay as far away from this story as possible.

They won't dwell on it but CTV will likely mention Lisa receiving the Officer of the Order of Canada. She received the original Order of Canada in 2019 and some members if they continue in service to the country can be advanced to an officer. CTV will likely mention her name in passing along with new members and others who are advancing in this recognition.
Details from the Toronto Star..

CTV National News did run a clip of Lisa Laflamme receiving her Officer of the Order of Canada. She was one of 44 Canadians honoured today. Omar Sachedina mentioned that she received the award for her work in journalism, volunteering, and as a humanitarian Omar congratulated her and said that Lisa's award was well deserved.

The CTV National News did report on Lisa receiving this honour tonight, albeit a very brief video item at approx. 11:25pm.

And I was wrong. They didn't try to take credit for her success.
