, moving the program back a half-hour to 5:00 p.m. ET, dislodging the regional portion from 6:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ''Le Téléjournal'' followed ''Véro'' at 6:00 p.m. local time from Manitoba westward, and in the Maritimes, where it preceded ''Véro'' at 6:00 p.m. AT. At the new timeslot, the newscast was watched by only 8% of the audience; in the previous year, the newscast averaged 10% of the audience. After airing the final hour-long episode on December 8, Radio-Canada changed course and the news returned at 6:00 p.m. on December 12, now with the regional segment first. Then Vice-President of CBC/Radio-Canada, Robert Rabinovitch, called the original displacement of the news ''peut-être une erreur'': perhaps a mistake. Véro would return after the winter hiatus, with a modified format: a half-hour every weekday at 5:00 p.m. starting January 9, 2006. The show was later canceled and the last episode aired on May 5, 2006.
