Quote:
A section of the budget bill gives the federal cabinet the explicit power to give Crown corporations orders as to how they should negotiate with employees, both unionized and non-unionized. Further, the bill gives the government the power to have a Treasury Board official sit in on collective bargaining negotiations at Crown corporations.
The union representing employees at the CBC warns the new powers are a “ridiculous” infringement on the independence of the CBC.

Harper has introduced a budget bill that would give the Conservative government more control over CBC.
Does this toe the line of censorship or is Harper justified in his actions?
