Private broadcasting is an important part of the Canadian community. Broadcasters have the ability to influence opinion, modify attitudes and shape minds. That's why the industry created a voluntary system of codes that set high standards for all of their programming.
Through these codes, private broadcasters promise to respect the interests and sensitivities of the people they serve, while meeting their responsibility to preserve the industry's creative, editorial and journalistic freedom.
Since 1990, the CBSC has helped the industry ensure that these high standards are maintained.
