A panel advising the government on the future role of the CBC includes the head of LGBT news outlet Pink Triangle Press, a journalist who says he’s never voted, and the chair of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Despite the colourful array of job descriptions, though, the seven-member panel is dominated by four ex-CBC employees with a combined 80 years of experience at the broadcaster, and a former Trudeau Foundation scholar.
