That's totally incorrect. After the Harper-Poilievre government cut $115 million, the government reinvested money so that CBC/Radio-Canada could maintain quality news coverage across the country. The $42 million was precisely to counter the media crisis in Canada. Everyone knows that Canada is facing a media crisis and that tech giants like Facebook and Google are taking more and more of the private advertising spends, including CBC/Radio-Canada's share. These investments were to avoid job cuts and maintain quality news coverage. We made sure there would be no cuts and no jobs lost.
