The Senate Committee on Transport and Communications will decide soon whether to release a report from hearings held last year on the state of Canada’s communications industry. The Sub-committee on Communications had just finished the first of a three-phase review of communications and competition policy before the federal election was called. Phase one of the review was related to Internet privacy and security, and how quickly Canadian businesses are embracing e-commerce. The sub-committee had directed staff to develop a draft report, but it was never approved.
