OTTAWA – The Broadcasting and Telecommunications Review (BTLR) panel released three videos last week to help explain the Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Acts. These videos we prepared by panel members and consist of cut and paste language in the Acts in traditional PowerPoint presentations.
Panel Member Peter Grant prepared the presentation on the Broadcasting Act and he voiced the English version while Pierre Trudel, another panel member, read the translated French version.
Panel Member Hank Intven prepared the Telecommunications video and read the English commentary, while an unknown staffer read the French version.
The Radiocommunications Act video has been prepared and read by Monica Song, in French and English. She is, of course, another panel member.
Consistent with their practices the BTLR panel has quietly released these videos by posting them on their website and without broadcasting their release.
Alongside those videos, the BTLRP also posted the video which had been prepared by the CRTC when it released Harnessing Change, the report which was commissioned to offer context in preparation of a review of the Acts The CRTC’s, while static, offers colour in their slides and the commentary is more entertaining…
