À l'époque, le Parlement craignait que dans le contexte d'un débat national, mettons, la SRC se voie dans l'obligation de prendre position, à titre d'organisation journalistique, et en ce faisant, qu'elle dénature sa couverture et sape la confiance de la population en nos reportages.
A concern that Parliament had at that time was that when there was a national debate taking place, it would potentially put CBC in the position of having an editorial position as a journalistic organization, one that would colour the coverage and the confidence people would have in our reports.
