==== 42nd Canadian Parliament: lawsuit threats ====
During the [[2015 Canadian federal election]] campaign, the CBC issued [[Cease and desist|cease-and-desist]] letters to the [[Broadbent Institute]], the [[Conservative Party of Canada]] (CPC), the [[Liberal Party of Canada]], and the [[New Democratic Party |New Democratic Party of Canada]], accusing them of using [[copyright]]ed footage from CBC news programming in their campaign advertising without permission. The Liberals and NDP complied with the letters, pulling the ads in question, while the Broadbent Institute and the Conservatives persisted. Eventually, however, rather than go to court, the Broadbent Institute and the Conservatives agreed to remove the offending material, and as such, the CBC did not pursue them further for these alleged infractions in 2015.<ref name="Tait-defending-journalism">{{cite web |title=Statement from Catherine Tait: "Why your public broadcaster is defending journalism" |url=https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/defending-our-journalism |last=Tait |first=Catherine |publisher=CBC/Radio-Canada |date=October 16, 2019 |access-date=January 3, 2020 |archive-date=December 31, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191231070442/https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/defending-our-journalism |url-status=live }}</ref>
