Statement by Liberal Heritage Critic Scott Simms on the 75th Anniversary of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio-Canada

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-OTTAWA—Liberal Critic for Heritage Scott Simms made the following statement on the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:

“Today is a day to celebrate a truly national treasure. Throughout the last 75 years, the CBC and Radio-Canada have been there to connect all Canadians — to connect us to our own culture, politics and Canadian identity. The CBC unites us across great distances, in the smallest towns and the largest cities, showcasing and celebrating the great diversity that exists within our borders.

For three-quarters of a century, our public broadcaster has given us the platform to tell our stories, in both official languages, and share them across the country. As Canada has grown and evolved, the CBC has always run parallel, developing new and innovative ways of chronicling the story of our country and its people.

The CBC has created history and it has captured history. On this important milestone, we appreciate the unique contributions that the CBC has made to our country.”
