Great. Thank you, Chair.
G-2 adds proposed subsection 15.1(2.1). This amendment adds a non-exhaustive list of factors that the GIC must consider prior to issuing an order. The list of factors would include the financial impact on telecommunications service providers, the operational impact on TSPs, the delivery of services to consumers and anything else the GIC deems relevant.
This is something we heard during testimony from witnesses. Obviously, the government will conduct a thorough assessment and look at the impact of the order on implicated parties, but some stakeholders raised the issue that adding an explicit requirement within the bill will go a long way.
