Canadian Heritage says the group will provide policy advice mainly on CBC/Radio-Canada's governance and funding. The newly appointed advisory committee will now help St-Onge chart a path forward, with members contributing knowledge from a variety of fields. St-Onge says committee members have diverse perspectives and experiences that will help her modernize the public broadcaster. Ottawa wants to redefine the role of CBC before the next federal election, as the Liberals hedge against a possible change in government.
