The Accessible Canada Act and the CRTC Accessibility Reporting Regulations
We are responsible for implementing accessibility rules under the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries, which includes a requirement for service providers to establish a feedback process and submit accessibility plans and progress reports.
