When the CBC was originally created, it was intended to be the nation’s public square – a place where we come together, to learn about each other, to share our tragedies and triumphs, our struggles, and our histories. For many decades, the CBC did just that and, in the process, became a world leader in broadcasting.
But after years of underfunding and neglect, the CBC’s ability to fulfil its public mandate is increasingly coming under threat. That’s why we continue to call on the government to provide our national public broadcaster with the tools and resources it needs to properly serve the public. Canadians deserve a strong and vital CBC – one that they can be proud of for generations to come.
