Further to Call for comments – Application for exemption from the Online News Act by Google, Online News Notice of Consultation CRTC 2024-143, 27 June 2024, the Commission received a procedural request from the Canadian Journalism Collective requesting an extension of time to complete and file the documents requested in question 10.
The Commission finds that agreeing to the extension would be in the public interest. It would help build a fulsome record while creating only minimal delay.
