85.9EM Support of Radio Canada International
Whereas, All services under the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation have suffered recent cutbacks in funding; and,
Whereas, Radio Canada International was formed to be our window on the world; and,
Whereas, Radio Canada International has brought a message of goodwill from Canada to many parts of the world which do not have free access to the world media; and,
Whereas, Few Canadians realize the importance of Radio Canada International as an agent for Canada in the world, which advertises our way of life, our products and our expertise in such areas of communications; therefore be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to ensure that Radio Canada International is able:
- To maintain services to those countries which have little free access to the world media; and,
- To program for and to transmit effectively to new audiences in such countries as those of the Pacific Rim.
