Thunder Bay-Rainy River M.P. John Rafferty hopes to learn more today on the impact of cuts to the CBC will have on northwestern Ontario.
Wednesday, the public broadcaster announced plans to cut 800 jobs across Canada and reduce local programming.
Rafferty says what the means to the radio stations in Thunder Bay and Sudbury is still uncertain, but worries it could lead to operations being combined to one location which he says would be a disservice to the northwest.
The federal NDP critic for the CBC says the changes being made by the public broadcaster might be a good reason to have a public debate on the future of the corporation.
