I think the important thing is to continue to be transparent. As well, when there are accusations or criticisms, as was recently the case regarding the CBC, it might be good to remind people of the other funds that exist and the ways the other networks in the country are funded. It might be useful to point out the role the CRTC plays in distributing funds. That might remind certain entities of how the funding of certain networks functions.
As a final point, being more transparent and giving more information about the process would be a good start.
