NDP, Bloc accuse Poilievre of threatening French, Quebec culture with stance on CBC cdnpoli
The Conservative leader has suggested in media interviews that while he believes in defunding the CBC, he sees the value in its French-language programming and the need to serve francophone communities — but both the NDP and Bloc Quebecois are raising specific concerns about that approach.
Pierre Paul-Hus, one of two Conservative MPs that Poilievre tapped to serve on his House of Commons leadership team, responded on the platform to say the Bloc leader’s assertion of looming cuts was false. Making gains in the seat-rich province has proved challenging for the federal party, whose support is heavily concentrated in Western Canada. Since the 2006 federal election that elected Stephen Harper, the Tories’ best showing in the province was to hold a dozen seats.
Spokesman Leon Mar said in a statement last week that to fund Radio-Canada and not CBC “would change the very nature of how programs and services are funded in Canada to target public money at only one language group.”
