Thank you for your question, Mr. Godin.
The current bill would create an obligation for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC, to consult Quebec, the other provinces and the territories on matters relating to the francophone communities of those provinces or territories.
Currently, before holding a public consultation, the CRTC publishes a notice of consultation. Everyone can attend, including the provinces and territories. So it is up to the provinces, including Quebec, to decide whether or not to participate in the consultations. The CRTC is not formally required to seek Quebec's or the other provinces' point of view when holding consultations.
