Yes, as I pointed out earlier, in the survey it showed a weakening of commitment to the mandate, and that is important. Subparagraph 3(1)(d)(i) of the Broadcasting Act of 1991 states that the Canadian broadcasting system should “serve to safeguard, enrich and strengthen the cultural, political, social and economic fabric of Canada”.
In 1968 the CBC was established as a public service, so it needs to be called--in a broad way, not in a micromanaging way--on the carpet when it stops nurturing Canadian unity, identity, and culture. And I believe that has happened.
