More time to comment on electronic commerce protection regs

OTTAWA – The CRTC has extended its deadline for comments on draft electronic commerce protection regulations.The Commission said Monday that comments are now due by September 7th, more than a week later than its initial deadline of August 29. The move comes in response to a request from the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) made late last month. The CWTA said in a letter to the CRTC that "there would be merit" in extending the deadline to coincide with the end of the comment period applicable to the related draft regulations proposed by Industry Canada.www.crtc.gc.ca
