Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

=== Management ===
As a [[crown corporation]], the CBC operates at [[Arm's length body|arm's length]] (autonomously) from the government in its day-to-day business. The corporation is governed by the ''Broadcasting Act''<ref name="justice1"/> of 1991, under a board of directors and is directly responsible to [[Parliament of Canada|Parliament]] through the [[Department of Canadian Heritage]]. General management of the organization is in the hands of a president, who is appointed by the [[Governor General of Canada]] [[Queen-in-Council|in Council]], on the [[Advice (constitutional)|advice]] of the prime minister.

According to ''[[The Hill Times]]'', a clause in [[Bill C-60]]—an [[Omnibus spending bill|omnibus]] budget implementation bill introduced by the government of [[Stephen Harper]] in 2013—"appears to contradict a longstanding arm's-length relationship between the independent CBC and any government in power".<ref name="huffingtonpost_bill_c60" /><ref name="hilltimes_2013">{{cite web | url=http://www.hilltimes.com/news/politics/2013/05/01/feds-threatening-journalist-independence-of-cbc-under-new-power-over-wages/34568 | title=Feds threatening journalist independence of CBC under new power over wages, benefits, collective bargaining, say critics | work=The Hill Times | date=May 1, 2013 | access-date=October 14, 2015 | author=Naumetz, Tim | location=Ottawa | archive-date=November 17, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117025346/http://www.hilltimes.com/news/politics/2013/05/01/feds-threatening-journalist-independence-of-cbc-under-new-power-over-wages/34568 | url-status=live }}</ref> The clause allows the "prime minister's cabinet to approve salaries, working conditions and collective bargaining positions for the CBC".<ref name="huffingtonpost_bill_c60">{{cite web | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/04/30/bill-c60-cbc-harper_n_3187821.html | title=Bill C-60: Tories Quietly Taking Control of CBC, Group Alleges | work=HuffPost | date=April 30, 2013 | access-date=October 14, 2015 | archive-date=November 17, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117020254/http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/04/30/bill-c60-cbc-harper_n_3187821.html | url-status=live }}</ref>
