Conservatives hide what they want to do behind walls of crap and misinformation. Silence on this issue speaks for itself. He'd gut the CBC along with everything else the wealth class tells him to gut.

They can hide and be silent all day, but defunding (reduce public funding) of the CBC is CPC policy declaration N.137. Further, using their argument that the CBC must not compete with private companies is a great reason to shut down news coverage or anything else they find annoying or inconvenient.
