FRANÇOISE BERTRAND CHALLENGES MONTRÉAL'S
COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY TO BE DYNAMIC
MONTRÉAL — According to Françoise Bertrand, Chairperson of the Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Montréal is fully equipped to play a
key role in the emergence of new technology. Current trends in the world of communications
are vital to Canada's future and to the future of Montréal, a city imbued with the spirit
of the explorers. Mrs. Bertrand delivered this message today at a lunch meeting held
by the Montréal Chamber of Commerce.
In calling on Montréal to assert its vitality, Mrs. Bertrand took the opportunity
to remind her audience of the new approach being taken by the CRTC, which wants to be more
of a partner or facilitator for Canadians, consumers and companies in the rapidly changing
world of communications. She said that boldness, imagination and dialogue are essential
conditions for becoming a key player in a knowledge-based economy.
