Providing Content in Canada's Official Languages

Please note that the Official Languages Act requires that government publications be available in both official languages.

In order to meet some of the requirements under this Act, the Commission's transcripts will therefore be bilingual as to their covers, the listing of CRTC members and staff attending the hearings, and the table of contents.

However, the aforementioned publication is the recorded verbatim transcript and, as such, is transcribed in either of the official languages, depending on the language spoken by the participant at the hearing.

Chairperson: Order please.

Good afternoon and welcome to this hearing of the Commission. My name Joanne Levy, I’m the Commissioner for the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and I will chair this hearing. With me on the panel are my colleagues, Ellen Desmond, Commissioner for the Atlantic Region and Nunavut and Claire Anderson, Commissioner for the provinces of British Columbia and Yukon. Sonia Gravelle will be the Hearing Secretary and Salahuddin Rafiquddin and Valérie Dionne are our Legal Counsels. I invite the Hearing Secretary to present the item on the agenda for today.

Hearing Secretary: Thank you.

On 15 August 2024, the Commission published Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2024-182. The Commission also published 2024-182-1 on 22 October 2024. The item referenced in this notice is being considered today without the appearance of the parties.

The Commission has received an answer for this item, and it has been placed on the public file for this hearing.

Thank you.

Chairperson: Thank you, Madam Secretary, are there any questions from the panel members?

Claire Anderson: No questions, thanks.

Chairperson: Thank you. I should emphasize that the matters that form part of the agenda will be given full consideration by the hearing panel and a decision will be released in due course after consultation with the full Commission. This therefore concludes today's hearing. I wish to thank my colleagues, Legal Counsels and the Hearing Secretary for their assistance. The hearing is now adjourned.
