Dear Mr. Campbell,

This is in response to a letter dated 19 February 2015, in which Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc. (AVR) requests an extension of time until 6 March 2015 to respond to a request for information sent by Commission staff in a letter dated 6 February 2015. You state that AVR has recently received sufficient revenues to retain the services of a lawyer to assist in its responses and that, as a result, AVR requires additional time to reply to the request for information.

Commission staff reminds AVR of its obligations under section 9(4) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations), which requires licensees to respond to requests for information relating to adherence to their regulatory requirements.  However, in the circumstances, Commission staff considers that it would be appropriate to grant the requested extension. AVR’s response to the request for information is to be filed by no later than 6 March 2015.

Commission staff notes that failure to respond to the letter within the stated deadline would result in a situation of apparent non-compliance with section 9(4) of the Regulations.

Furthermore, please ensure that all correspondence related to the above-noted applications, including your letter dated 19 February 2015 letter is submitted electronically by using the secured service “My CRTC Account” (Partner Log In or GCKey) and filling the “Broadcasting and Telecom Cover page” or the “Broadcasting Online Form and Cover Page” located on this web page. Also on this web page you will find information on the submission of applications to the Commission “Submitting applications and other documents to the CRTC using My CRTC Account.”

A copy of this letter and all related correspondence will be added to the public record of the proceeding.

Please note that, as of this date, all matters related to the above-noted applications should now be addressed to André Joly. Should you need further information concerning your applications, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at 819-997-4724 or by fax at 819-994-0218.

Yours truly,
