Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he is sticking to his promise – and that he will be very quick to follow through on it if and when he is Prime Minister
A survey from late August and early September found that only 11 per cent of respondents were in favour of defunding the public broadcaster.In late 2023, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said it was time for the federal government to redefine what the CBC does and how it does it.
Sarah Andrews, director of government and media relations at the advocacy group Friends of Canadian Media, said the public broadcaster will be a “huge” election issue for Canadians. In 2023-2024, CBC/Radio-Canada received $1.44 billion from the federal government and generated $493.5 million in revenue.
If a party put a defunding promise in a platform it would be an “ideological decision and a statement that they would then have to defend to the country,” Johnson said. “In those 30 years, the internet became a thing … The platforms on which the CBC operates have obviously changed,” Andrews said, citing the addition of online news and the CBC Gem streaming service to the older TV and radio services.The Liberals haven’t offered many indications of how they plan to do that.
