CBC/Radio-Canada's current funding model is largely based on parliamentary appropriations. It is also based on a legislative mandate and the conditions of the licences that the CRTC gives to public broadcasters. So this three-part set-up has to work. Funding has to be proportional to the mandate, as well as the CRTC's conditions. If you uncouple one part of the set-up, there is a functional breakdown. The mandate will not be met, or the CRTC's conditions of licence will not be met.
