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.

Prière de noter que la Loi sur les langues officielles exige que toutes publications gouvernementales soient disponibles dans les deux langues officielles.

 

Afin de rencontrer certaines des exigences de cette loi, les procès-verbaux du Conseil seront dorénavant bilingues en ce qui a trait à la page couverture, la liste des membres et du personnel du CRTC participant à l'audience publique et la table des matières.

 

Toutefois, la publication susmentionnée est un compte rendu textuel des délibérations et, en tant que tel, est transcrite dans l'une ou l'autre des deux langues officielles, compte tenu de la langue utilisée par le participant à l'audience publique.

            On 17 July 2008, the Commission published Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-9.  The Commission also published Broadcasting Notices of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-9-1 on 18 July 2008, CRTC 2008-9-2 on 24 July 2008, CRTC 2008-9-3 on 18 August 2008 and CRTC 2008-9-4 on 17 September 2008.  The applications referenced in these notices are being considered today without the appearance of the parties.

 

            For the record, the Commission has received interventions for some of the applications and they have been placed on the public file for this public hearing.

 

            Thank you. Mr. Chairman
