The cost of living in the Far North[1] is higher than elsewhere in Canada, and the price of Internet is no exception. To improve affordability, the CRTC is introducing an Internet subsidy. All residential Internet subscribers will receive a monthly discount on their bill, regardless of their Internet provider.
We invite you to share your thoughts on the best way to implement this subsidy by completing our survey.
Please note that this platform does not contain all the questions of this proceeding. For the full list of questions, or to learn more about the other ways to participate in the proceeding[2], please refer to the Notice of Consultation.
[1] For the purposes of this proceeding, the Far North refers to Nunavut, Yukon, Northwest Territories, 19 communities in northern British-Columbia and two communities in northern Alberta.
[2] Participants using the platform are not considered a party to the proceeding. This means that, in general, they will not: (i) have their comments attributed to them; (ii) receive notice of comments from other participants; (iii) be able to participate in the oral hearing, if there is one; (iv) be allowed to provide final replies, if there are any, and (v) be named in any appeal of the CRTC’s decision. If you wish to be considered a party, please consult the “What you need to know to participate in this proceeding” section of the Notice of Consultation to learn how to submit a formal intervention.
