GATINEAU, QC, Feb. 6, 2026 /CNW/ – The CRTC is taking another step forward to implement the modernized Broadcasting Act (the Act) by improving how official language minority communities (OLMCs) and the French-speaking majority in Quebec can participate in its proceedings.

The Act requires the CRTC to modernize Canada’s broadcasting framework and to consult with OLMCs when its decisions may affect them. As part of this work, the CRTC held a public consultation to review how it engages with OLMCs and other communities about broadcasting matters. The CRTC heard a wide range of perspectives, including from organizations representing the interests of OLMCs, the French-speaking majority in Quebec and broadcasters.

Based on the public record, the CRTC is introducing new measures to better support participation by OLMCs and the French-speaking majority in Quebec, including by clearly identifying during its proceedings which issues may be of particular interest to them and giving OLMCs more time to submit their comments.

These measures build on broader efforts the CRTC has taken to encourage participation in its proceedings, including through the creation of an OLMC engagement team and an Indigenous Relations Team. They also follow a number of actions the CRTC has taken to implement the Act. To find out more, check out the CRTC’s regulatory plan.

Quote

“Today’s decision builds on the CRTC’s ongoing efforts to make it easier to participate in our proceedings. The new measures will help ensure that the voices and perspectives of official language minority communities and the French-speaking majority in Quebec are reflected more fully in our broadcasting work.”

– Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, CRTC

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
