Seven multimedia experts have been selected to advise Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge as she renews the role of Canada's public broadcaster. The department notes that consultations on the CBC's mandate have already been done with the general public. 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.
