CBC cuts misguided – Derek Wilson

Re: Conservatives considering deep cuts to CBC, Oct. 11.
Federal Heritage Minister James Moore may justify a five-to 10-percent cut in the CBC’s budget as its fair share in reducing his government’s $4-billion deficit.
If so, then why is his government proposing to spend $30 billion on stealth fighter jets, $35 billion on naval vessels, and $30 billion on super-prisons?
None of the latter are justified, but the CBC is the crown jewel of Canadian culture and an effective promoter of the Canadian arts and entertainment industry.
