ALT CBC SCREENSHOT: In another sit-down interview last July with True North, Poilievre explained that the only justification for having a public broadcaster is to provide content the private market does not. He argued that is not the case for CBC's English services. "Almost everything the CBC does can be done in the marketplace these days because of technology," he told host Andrew Lawton. "I would preserve a small amount for French-language minorities, linguistic minorities, because they, frankly, will not get news services provided by the market." He added he did not think the CBC's English-language services on TV or online "provide anything that people can't get from the marketplace."
