Subject: Information requested on status of decision regarding Notice of Consultation 2023-72
Huw Eirug and Lena Ellsworth,
Thank you for your letter expressing concerns on the issuance of the Commission’s decision arising from our June 2023 public hearing. At this hearing, the Commission examined the possible licensing of Inuit-language discretionary services with mandatory distribution across Canada.
Your participation in this proceeding was greatly valued. I would like to assure you that we recognize the impact that granting mandatory distribution across Canada to an Inuit-language service would have on preserving Inuit language, traditions and culture.
While I cannot give you a specific date for the publication of the decision, I can assure you that we are working as expeditiously as possible and expect a decision to be issued soon.
If you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact Manon Auger at 613-290-5480 or by email at manon.auger@crtc.gc.ca.
Yours sincerely,
Original signed by
Scott Shortliffe
Executive Director, Broadcasting
