Thank you.
I'm actually one of the few people from my riding who really love the CBC and its content. However, I do have a concern, not necessarily about the wrong intent, but the video and this conversation talk about the CBC's role in promoting Canadian values. I'm concerned about who it is that gets to decide what Canadian values are. How do we make sure we're reflecting Canadian values instead of inventing Canadian values that we want Canadians to value?
These are a couple of quick examples. I did a tour of the capital region with the capital region people, and one of the things they said was that we want to instill fitness as a Canadian value. Another example is Vote Compass, which seemed to have some problems with guiding people rather than just revealing to people. Even just in our conversation today you mentioned that you can't show some of these shows between 8 and 10. So while families and individuals can choose what not to watch, because CBC is funded by Canadian tax dollars, even if they decide not to watch it, they are paying for programming they may not value. How do we guard against that?
