With Conservatives promising to defund,’ could the next election kill the CBC ? With Parliamentary business on hold until late March due to prorogation, and opposition parties champing at the bit to trigger an election, getting any legislative changes to the CBC ’s mandate passed may be a long shot.

In 2021 , the Liberal government tasked then-heritage minister Pablo Rodriguez with modernizing CBC/Radio-Canada and updating that decades-old mandate.

Liberal government opted not to launch a public consultation on the new CBC mandate.

Conservative MPs on the committee dissented on the report and called for the CBC to be defunded.
