There'll be Canadian content on XM; but no CBC Radio. The CBC is partnered with Sirius and Standard Radio in the Sirius Canada venture. I doubt they would make their product available to a direct competitor. But, today? Who knows for sure? :-))
But there has been NO announcement from XM or CBC regarding CBC Radio carriage on XM. And I don't expect to see one.
