The petition is now closed. Thanks to all who took the time to sign the petition and post comments. Though the CBC Radio Orchestra's life was ended by CBC Radio, the orchestra has been reincarnated in a new form: the National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada - Orchestre national de diffusion du Canada.
Dear Mark Steinmetz and CBC Radio, Prime Minister Harper, Members of Parliament, and the Minister of Canadian Heritage. We the undersigned want the CBC Radio Orchestra saved. We believe that the orchestra is an integral part of Canada's mosaic and an important contributor to Canada's unique and rich cultural heritage. Our Canada includes the CBC Radio Orchestra!

Surely Canada can afford a national orchestra as well as the smallest countries of Europe! Really, how much money is saved? Would it ruin the government financially? Or would it just be another step in the dismantling the CBC, piece by piece?

How could you make such an ill conceived decision! I love and listen to only classical music. I turn the radio off when I hear noise. We need more music, less noise. CBC is a real find. Please reverse your decision!

As a long time listener to CBC 2 and the orchestra I will be deeply disturbed if it is no longer and no longer a friend of CBC

Canadians benefit significantly from the cultural achievements attained by the CBC Radio Orchestra. The cost of the orchestra is fully justified by its mandate and excellence of achievement.
