Binns Statement Regarding CBC

Premier Pat Binns today issued the following statement regarding the current labour dispute at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:

“CBC, through its radio, television and web programming, is an important part of Island life by helping Islanders tell their stories to other Islanders and to the world. From Canada Now (Compass) and Island Morning to Hockey Night In Canada, Islanders enjoy a host of CBC programs. CBC and its staff are also a valuable part of our community through their ongoing support of charitable efforts such as the Annual Turkey Drive. I call upon all parties involved in this dispute to renew their efforts to reach a timely and satisfactory resolution.”
