Update CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate with a governance plan, more local bureaus and reporters, a commitment to including Indigenous perspectives and transmitting emergency information, investment in digital tools
"Strengthen CBC/Radio Canada’s mandate by:
Developing a governance plan with CBC/Radio Canada to improve accountability, empower leadership, streamline processes and tap into the spirit of innovation. This will also improve citizen engagement and understanding of our country, from the West Coast to the East Coast and to the far reaches of the Canadian North. It is only by engaging all parts of our country that we can tell its stories.
Equipping them to further promote and support Canadian culture including Quebec’s unique culture, which is at the heart of our national identity.
Strengthening local news, so that all Canadians have access to timely, relevant and reliable news.
Adding to their mandate the clear and consistent transmission of life-saving information during emergencies.
Including a commitment of including Indigenous perspectives.
Fully equipping them to combat disinformation so that Canadians have a news source they know and trust.
Bolstering innovation and investing in new digital tools so that they can deliver the news when and how Canadians want it."
