The Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission certainly sees itself as a quasi‑administrative tribunal. The way it works, consultations take the form of public hearings. It makes its decisions based on the public record that's put together. That's the process that's been in place for a number of years.
The new Online Streaming Act includes new consultation obligations, which are not limited to official language minority communities. They apply equally to indigenous peoples and diversity groups. It's clear that the CRTC is currently trying to figure out how to deal with this new universe.
We've been very proactive at the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada and the Fédération culturelle canadienne‑française. In our view, the new paradigm in which we find ourselves means that we have to make the CRTC‑OLMC discussion group, which has been in place for 18 years, something different. We can't continue doing things as they were done under the old Broadcasting Act, since the new version of the act includes new consultation obligations.
That's where we stand, Mr. Gourde.
