Marie-Philippe Bouchard, CEO of CBC-Radio-Canada, is calling for a ‘national conversation’ on the Conservative promise to defund, and is launching a tour to get it started
With Donald Trump making “territorial claims,” the new head of CBC says defunding the public broadcaster could erode a pillar of Canada ’s cultural identity.
She said in an interview it’s important for Canadians to be equipped with the facts about the likely impacts of stripping away CBC’s funding for English-language services. That includes “discussions about tariffs, discussions about maybe territorial claims by the new American President.”Bouchard said she’s also “not sure we’re having that conversation at the level that we should be having at this point, as we progress toward an election in 2025.”
After that, Bouchard will tour Western Canada to engage with business and civic leaders, industry representatives, CBC audiences and employees.
