With respect to broadcasting, as I mentioned earlier, the consortium made a presentation to the committee of deputy ministers responsible for the games and announced that the consortium also included French television networks such as Réseau des sports, Réseau Info-Sports and TQS. APTN is also a member of the consortium.
The consortium has negotiated agreements for distribution, broadcasting and satellite service to have the signal provided free of charge during the entire period and during the games so that francophones across Canada have equal access. Negotiations are still underway with other broadcasters and satellite service distributors to ensure that coverage is as complete as possible.
