Chairman: Order please.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this hearing of the Commission. My name is Tom Pentefountas, Vice-Chairman of Broadcasting and I will chair this hearing. With me on the panel are my colleagues, Yves Dupras, Commissioner for Quebec Region and Stephen Simpson, Commissioner for British Columbia and Yukon. Sonia Gravelle will be the Hearing Secretary and Adam Balkovec will be our Legal Counsel. Madame Secretary, what are the items on the agenda for today?

Secretary: Thank you Mr. Chairman.

On 10 April 2015, the Commission published Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2015-136. The applications referenced in this notice are being considered today without the appearance of the parties.
The Commission has received interventions for some of the applications and they have been placed on the public file for this hearing.

Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Chairman: Thank you, any questions from the panel members?

Yves Dupras: No questions Mr. Chairman.

Stephen Simpson: No questions Mr. Chairman.

Chairman: I should emphasize that the matters that form part of the agenda will be given full consideration by the hearing panel and decisions will be released in due course after consultation with the full Commission. This therefore concludes today's hearing. I wish to thank my colleagues, Legal Counsel and the Hearing Secretary for their assistance. The hearing is now adjourned.

Secretary: Thank you Mr. Chairman.
