Mesley could not be reached for comment.
The announcement comes little more than a year after Mesley was embroiled in a controversy over her use of the N-word on two separate occasions during editorial meetings. CBC suspended her from the airwaves as they investigated the allegations last summer and she never returned to their programming.
It brought a sudden end to the Montreal-born reporter s fruitful relationship with the broadcaster, which she began as a legislative reporter covering the first Quebec referendum on sovereignty in 1980.
Five years later, Mesley moved to Ottawa as the network s first female parliamentary correspondent for The National.
