The CRTC is launching a public consultation on how the regulatory body can make it easier to participate in its proceedings.

Specifically interested in encouraging more participation from those with a diversity of perspectives, the consultation’s scope will include making funding to cover the costs of those participating in proceedings more predictable and more easily recoupable by simplifying the application process.

Comments are being accepted until Sept. 9.

This new consultation follows the commission’s creation of an Indigenous Relations Team to better support Indigenous participation. A review of how the CRTC engages with official language minority communities is also ongoing.
