OTTAWA – The next meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, which is studying Bill C-10, the bill to amend the Broadcasting Act, will be held Monday with the following witnesses: Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, BCE, Fédération nationale des communications et de la culture, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting and Unifor.
Shaw Communications had been scheduled to appear, too, but cancelled.
The Committee, in its meeting on committee business of March 8, agreed to ask the CRTC to appear, on March 26, and be given 10 minutes for their opening statements (this is more time than is standard practice) and for the second hour, hear from community media groups.
The committee will then start the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-10, on Monday, April 12, 2021.
The deadline to submit amendments to the committee clerk is Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Only members can submit amendments.
