Le présent énoncé de politique intervient au terme d'un processus de consultation publique au sujet de certaines politiques ayant trait à la radiodiffusion et aux télécommunications et présentées dans le décret en conseil C.P. 1994 - 1689.

Le décret en Conseil a demandé au Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes (CRTC) d'entreprendre un examen public et de présenter un rapport sur certaines questions ayant trait à la mise en œuvre de ces politiques. De plus, le décret signalait que le rapport du CRTC serait communiqué au Conseil consultatif sur l'autoroute de l'information (CCAI) pour obtenir ses commentaires. 1, record 1, French, - Politique%20sur%20la%20convergence
