"Chris Glover showed remarkable composure and professionalism in the face of a very awkward situation," Chuck Thompson said."Unfortunately, the trend of harassing reporters continues and is something we take very seriously."
Saskatchewan-born Banks, 54, who has multiple film and TV credits including the CBC's"Little Mosque on the Prairie," could not be immediately reached for comment. The 40-second clip of Glover sparked outrage on social media, with some condemning what happened as an assault, and others saying they would not have remained so calm."This is disgusting," CBC reporter Lorenda Reddekopp tweeted."I also can't believe none of the bystanders did anything."
