Hon. Marty Klyne: Senator Gold, in what activities have the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC, been actively engaged in terms of implementation and execution of Bill C-11 in promoting and growing Canadian content being consumed?

Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate): Well, since the passage of Bill C-11, a number of initiatives are taking place. I’m sorry. I’m translating in my brain from French to English. Let me start again. Many initiatives have been taking place at many levels, including by the CRTC. Registration requirements are par for the course for matters of this kind. Other measures and policy directions are in place, some of which have been in the news quite recently.

Steps are being taken as part of the normal unfolding of the regulatory framework — once legislation has passed — to ensure that the premise and promise of Bill C-11 to modernize our Broadcasting Act, to support Canadian content and to protect users and content creators, as has always been the intent and the fact, are well under way to being implemented.

Senator Klyne: I did have a supplementary question, but it kind of got answered there. Thank you very much.
