As we move forward to implement the Commission's strategic plan as outlined in the Vision document, we will be asking for all the players to provide us with their views and suggestions. The CRTC wants to be a catalyst, to stimulate creativity, and to encourage synergy. We want to bring all parties involved in broadcasting to work with us, to find innovative solutions to meet today's needs and tomorrow's challenges. Given the speed at which change roars through our business, it is critical that we steer carefully, with both hands on the wheel. New communications technologies, products and services are announced almost daily.
Competition is now firmly entrenched in the global marketplace.
Traditional industry distinctions are blurring. It is an exciting, yet intimidating time in our industry, a true roller coaster ride. For the Commission, these challenges deal with more than just the technology. We have to examine the impact these changes have on both our capability, and our responsibility to preserve our cultural sovereignty in a communications universe which questions traditional borders. You have to worry about your bottom line.
