With the way the Broadcasting Act is currently structured, as some members at the table will know well, the policy objectives are set out at the beginning of the legislation and then the CRTC has the responsibility to give effect and put into operation those policy objectives through its regulatory decisions. When the CRTC seeks to make a decision, it typically does a public process. Those public processes are open, including for provincial governments to participate and make their views known.
It's already incumbent on the CRTC to generate a public record. Again, those processes are open to all stakeholders and all governments to participate in, for them to put their views on the public record. Then it's incumbent on the CRTC to make its decision based on the public record before it.
