I won't bother quoting the whole thing as some of the Q's were rather disgruntled or otherwise not worth bothering with (and were rightly left unanswered). But he spoke, among other things, about the new PI challenge and a proposed enhancement for enforcing the no yards rule, and also got into some of the stuff that constitutes Objectionable Conduct:
You can read the whole thing here.Q: What's your view on PI being a reviewable call this season? Do you think the enormous pause in the game is worth getting the right call?
GJ: PI is the hardest call for us to get right. There are so many variables to it. Reviewing these calls has helped us get some right that we made a mistake on. I think it is worth taking the time necessary to get these calls right - the penalty is huge.
Q: Pass interference? Not reviewable in the NFL right?
GJ: Correct, it is not reviewable in the NFL.

Q: We're coming up on a full season since the reviewable pass interference experiment began. How have your crews, the teams, and the fans been responding to the implementation, and has that response changed any since preseason?
GJ: Our crews are fine with it. It hasn't changed how they officiate. At the beginning everyone has high hopes for change. I don't know that it is any different now. We are currently assessing how well it is going. Fans and teams are debating its success.

Q: Has the CFL ever considered changing the "no yards" rules for punts? It seems it's being called more and more every season and to be honest, it seems like a hard rule to enforce accurately.
GJ: The Rules Committee has considered altering the No Yards rule in the past. It came up again last year. One club proposed we use a technology halo on TV to be more consistent with it. We are always looking to innovate if it makes the game better.

Q: Mr. Johnson, Sorry in advance for the difficult questions but please elaborate why the n word is banished but not the f word? The slur was directed at Bo Levi Mitchell earlier this year. Also, why is the CFL not more transparent with the list of banned words?
GJ: The "f" word is not allowed. Sometimes the TV catches audio that the officials don't hear. But if an official had, it would have drawn a flag. There is no specific list but categories of words that are banned; all racial or ethnic slurs, anything to do with sexual orientation or religious affiliation.
