| The official
Conservative Party platform is silent on issues related to the CBC. Elsewhere
the Conservatives have claimed falsely to
have increased CBC funding. In fact, taking inflation into account, CBC's
purchasing power has decreased on their watch.

“A Liberal government will provide the CBC and Radio-Canada with stable and predictable funding in support of their unique and crucial roles.”

“We will strengthen public broadcasting with long-term stable funding for CBC, Radio-Canada and other public broadcasters, including capacity to deliver superior regional production and internet services.” |
“The full Green Party platform and budget, to be released April 11, will include a three-year investment in the CBC: $100 million in 2011-2012, $150 million in 2012-2013, and $$200 million in 2013-2014. The investment will provide the CBC with stable base funding so it can continue to provide quality Canadian content television and radio programming in both official languages.” |
