So, we agree that, right now, the wording you read to us says that it could be individuals, but those working in an interest other than their own.
The CRTC would have to modify this fund to allow one person alone to apply for funding to prepare for CRTC public hearings. The individual would not have access unless they represent an interest group. It is possible that this could be done in the future, but to date, it has not been allowed.
