From the CRTC's perspective, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. We will of course implement whatever legislation is passed; we're not going to take a view on whether it should be with us or not. The CRTC has always zealously guarded its independence. Numerous governments of the day could testify that they haven't always been delighted with CRTC decisions.
We are working with the other agencies to say that we've seen the thrust of the bill and we will implement what it has passed, but, for example, we're forming working groups to make sure there's a “one front door” approach. If a complaint came into the CRTC that belonged to the transportation agency, we wouldn't simply send them on their way. We'll process it the moment it comes in.
I think, as independent tribunals, we can maintain our independence from the government, but that doesn't mean we can't also work together efficiently and effectively to make sure that the intent of this bill is always respected. I believe that we have shown in the past that we can be independent. I also believe that means we can work together for the benefit of persons with disabilities.
