| 6. Evidence as to the availability of financial resources consistent with the requirements established in the financial projections of the applicant's business plan. For the convenience of applicants, the Commission has available upon request a document entitled "Documentation Required by the Commission to Support the Availability of an Applicant's Proposed Financing". | |

| The Commission's Commercial Radio Policy, Public Notice CRTC 1998-41, was issued on 30 April 1998. |
| The Commission also notes that amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986 are now in place and its policy on ethnic broadcasting has now been issued (Public Notice CRTC 1999-117). The Commission also notes that it has issued Public Notice CRTC 2000-12 and Public Notice 2000-13, which concern respectively the Commission's proposed campus and community radio policies. | |
