An action to be taken throughout the federal election campaign is to ask candidates running for office one or all of the following questions: “If elected, would you
- ensure that candidates for the CBC Board of Directors be required to have minimum experience with public broadcasting and/or the arts and culture so that the Canadian people can feel that they have confidence in those who are running our public broadcaster?
- restore Radio 2 to the one million Canadian listeners who have been abandoned?
- restore the CBC Radio Orchestra as a National Broadcasting Orchestra?
- restore competitions that honour our young performers and composers (rather than make them into a Survival-style Reality TV show as Mark Steinmetz has suggested).”
