Maxime Bernier: Leadership Campaign and Cbc Mandate

maxime bernier: While leadership rival Maxime Bernier has proposed reworking the CBC mandate, cutting its funding and barring it from selling private advertising, Leitch goes much further, according to Guelph Mercury. She says the broadcaster doesnt need reform it needs to be put out of business altogether. Leitch, whose leadership campaign made headlines when she proposed screening new immigrants for what she described as anti-Canadian values, now has the national broadcaster in her sights. She says it unfair that while private media companies are struggling to stay afloat, the CBC is able to rely on federal subsidies. I strongly disagree with the stance taken by fellow leadership candidate Maxime Bernier and his call for CBC reform, said Leitch, who represents the riding of Simcoe-Grey. Leitch says she would keep the parts of the CBC that provide emergency services to remote and rural parts of Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
