Viewpoint – The mandate of the CBC/Radio-Canada
The president and CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Hubert Lacroix, stated recently that the crown corporation had to “be something for, and mean something special to, every Canadian.” In accordance with the mandate described in the latest version of the Broadcasting Act, adopted in 1991, Mr. Lacroix wants a wide range of programming that informs, enlightens and entertains. Yet the technological context and the Canadian broadcasting sector have undergone significant changes since 1991. Shouldn’t the mandate of the CBC do likewise?
