OTTAWA-GATINEAU – The CRTC is offering Canadians a final opportunity to have their say on the future of the television system.
On Thursday, the Commission launched an online discussion forum that will be open until September 19, the final day of the two week long public hearing known as Let’s Talk TV: A Conversation with Canadians.
To help focus comments, the CRTC also published a working document for discussion outlining some of the issues to be considered during the public hearing. It is encouraging Canadians to post as many comments as they wish on the discussion forum, either before or during the public hearing, and/or to respond to other participants or to issues raised at the hearing.
“The Let’s Talk TV conversation is all about ensuring that the television system is able to adapt to changing technologies and viewing habits in the coming years”, said CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais, in a statement. “We encourage Canadians not to miss out on this opportunity to influence the final outcome and help shape the future of television in Canada. After all, it’s their television system. The only way we can make sure it meets their needs is if they participate.”
More than 10,000 Canadians have offered their thoughts and opinions on the future of the television system since the conversation began last October.
