The CFP will establish a Ministry of Information as a strategic tool to support Canada’s sovereignty, democracy, and global standing by combatting disinformation and foreign interference. The CBC/Radio-Canada, as the national public broadcaster, will be refocused to serve the mission of aggregating and verifying national and international news, conducting investigative journalism, and contributing to a unified national narrative.

CBC/Radio-Canada will also offer international broadcasting in support of Canada’s foreign policy goals and serve as a training ground for new Canadian journalists, filling the gap left by the closure of America’s. Fact-based journalism is a powerful tool against disinformation and propaganda, particularly from hostile actors like China, Russia, India, North Korea, Trump-aligned factions, and foreign influence operations.

These reforms of the CBC/Radio-Canada would allow it to be a tool for government to connect with Canadians while equally having responsibility to hold government to account and providing Canadians access to trusted and accurate information.

As a flagship institution for promoting Canadian culture, our national broadcaster must reassess its role in delivering cultural content. The CFP proposes that CBC/Radio-Canada be fully government funded and withdraw from the advertising market, freeing up an estimated $350 million in ad revenue to be shared among private media companies. In exchange, the federal government will fully compensate the lost revenue and provide an additional $3 per Canadian to improve services in rural and underserved regions.

"We will strengthen its mandate by:

1. Developing a governance plan with CBC/Radio-Canada to improve accountability, empower leadership, streamline processes, and tap into the institution’s innovative spirit;
2. Equipping them to further promote and support Canadian culture, including Québec’s unique culture which is at the heart of our national identity;
3. Strengthening local news with more local bureaus and reporters, so that all Canadians have access to timely, relevant, and reliable news;
4. Adding to their mandate the clear and consistent transmission of life-saving information during emergencies;
5. Fully equipping them to combat disinformation, so that Canadians have a news source they know they can trust; and,
6. Bolstering innovation and investing in new digital tools so that they can deliver the news when and how Canadians want it."
