Have a say in the Federal Budget!

Before every budget, the government engages in “pre-budgetary consultations,” where they ask Canadians what they want to see in the upcoming federal budget. As you can imagine, it’s a process often dominated by the interests of the most powerful.
At FRIENDS, we see power in a different way. It isn’t only about money and the political influence it wields. It’s about citizen participation and the votes that Canadians cast. In our continued effort to secure a better CBC that truly fulfills its public purpose, FRIENDS is inviting you to exercise your power by participating in our submission.
It couldn’t be any easier: simply fill out the form to the right with your message. If you need inspiration, just answer the question: why does the CBC matter to you?
FRIENDS will collate every submission we receive into a single package that demands that the government fulfill its promise to increase the CBC’s budget.
So please take a few moments to fill the form to the right, and help us secure our CBC’s future!
