Heritage minister says she’d like CBC’s mandate updated to include strong online presence, fill info gaps
Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge says she wants the role of public broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada redefined before the next federal election.
In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press, St-Onge said now is the time to update its mandate, to hedge against a possible change in government.
She said the Liberal government believes a strong public broadcaster strengthens democracy and promises to keep supporting it, adding she believes a Conservative government would destroy it.
