At all times, during an election period and beyond, the media must report accurate information and, when necessary, correct the record. For example, following the English-language federal leaders’ debate on April 17, CBC reporter Jonathon Gatehouse appeared on CBC News and “fact-checked” a statement by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who had referenced a study published by the Fraser Institute. Unfortunately, during the segment, Gatehouse got his facts wrong.
That’s the CBC’s job.
