Catherine Tait, president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), previously wrote a private letter to Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre in which she requested a meeting to discuss his party’s campaign calling for the Liberal government to defund the public broadcaster.

Poilievre rejected the meeting, prompting Tait to send a follow-up letter.
