CBC/Radio-Canada
In a debate about CBC/Radio-Canada, the Conservatives expressed outrage about a CBC production that used deceptive tactics to lure individuals, including RCMP veterans, into interviews. The Liberals defended the CBC, stating it would be inappropriate to comment on specific programming and noting the show in question never aired. The debate focused on this one controversial incident rather than broader issues around the public broadcaster.
“I don't want to answer for CBC's actions. CBC is independent, so you should complain to them, not me.”
