Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he still intends to defund the CBC if he becomes prime minister, but he doesn’t have a specific time frame for doing so.

Poilievre used the “defund the CBC” theme prominently after becoming Tory leader, accusing the public broadcaster of a pro-Liberal Party bias, but he has not been as vocal about the issue during the campaign.
