Canadians want a "New CBC"

Target: Prime Minister Paul Martin
Sponsored by: Friends of Canadian Broadcasting

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting has learned that the federal government is poised to announce a new round of budget cuts, despite its $9 billion surplus. CBC is a target, even though two House of Commons Committees - Finance and Heritage - have called for increased and stable funding for CBC.

A decade of budget cuts has left CBC in tatters, especially at the grassroots level. Radio and television programs in local communities have been cancelled and services cut back.

It's time for a new CBC. Please tell the Prime Minister it's time CBC had adequate funding that is dedicated to providing strong grassroots programs, not more centralized programming and decisions from Toronto. It's a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, not a Toronto Broadcasting Corporation!

Please sign the petition today.
