Bill

Bill C-354, An Act to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act (Quebec’s cultural distinctiveness and French-speaking communities)

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

The CRTC already holds extensive public consultations open to anyone before making decisions. The duty to consult the governments of Quebec and the other provinces proposed in C-354 would require the CRTC to engage in significant additional consultations in relation to a large number of its decisions resulting in a heavy burden in terms of both time and resources and potentially impeding its ability to efficiently fulfill its mandate.

Passed.
