Canada AM co-host Gail Scott ‘loved having breakfast with Canada’

One 1972 news story called Gail Scott “CTV’s lady on the Hill” and gushed that she was the “first regular woman correspondent [covering the Canadian Parliament] for a national television network.”

In fact, Ms. Scott had reported for the CBC in Ottawa since graduating with a journalism degree in 1966. She filed stories for radio and occasionally for television throughout the late 1960s; by 1969, she was a CBC assignment editor for both French and English television.
