Bernier announced his plan at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa. This means a focus on local programming and news coverage, as well as more foreign correspondents, documentaries and programs on scientific, historic and religious topics. The leadership candidate also proposed that the CBC get out of the advertising market entirely, be it on television, radio or the internet. According to Bernier, this would have the benefit of ending the CBC's competition with private broadcasters and other media. Bernier was not the only Conservative leadership candidate talking about plans for the CBC on Wednesday.
