CPAC est une chaîne de télévision par câble unique au Canada, qui s'engage à diffuser intégralement, sans interruption, ni censure, les délibérations de la Chambre des communes et de certains comités permanents. Lorsque la Chambre des communes ne siège pas, CPAC diffuse d'autres émissions d'affaires publiques - qu'il s'agisse des délibérations du Parlement, des cas de la Cour suprême, d'enquêtes publiques, de symposiums ou de toute autre activité, CPAC en fait la diffusion intégrale, minute par minute, comme ça se déroule. 1, record 2, French, - La%20Cha%C3%AEne%20d%27affaires%20publiques%20par%20c%C3%A2ble
