The CRTC has a proceeding (CRTC 2020-178<\/a>) that is investigating the issues of wireless accessibility for all persons with disabilities in Canada, and that includes those who are Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing (DDBHH).<\/p>\n

Deaf Wireless Canada Consultative Committee – Comit\u00e9 pour les Services Sans fil des Sourds du Canada (DWCC-CSSSC), Canadian Association of the Deaf-Association des Sourds du Canada (CAD-ASC), and the Canadian National Society of the Deaf-Blind (CNSDB), are working together to ensure that current and future wireless plans are improved for choice, affordability and what is appropriate and accessible for DDBHH Canadians.<\/p>\n

DDBHH Canadians use more data on their wireless phones due to using their smartphones for video with sign language communications, or especially for those who are Deaf-Blind, wayfinding (GPS) to find their way around. Video communications means more data over the wireless connections. As a result, data packages are expensive. This is unfair because those who use sign language with video communications need fair costs for data packages. It is their right to have fair wireless data packages with accessibility with sign language communication.<\/p>\n

Thousands of DDBHH and their families, their colleagues, their co-workers and employers are impacted by these expensive wireless data packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We established 4 letter templates available on 4 separate web pages, for a simple “click & send” to all the important people in web forms, as seen at this includeme.ca website: https:\/\/www.include-me.ca\/making-canada-accessible\/blog\/2020\/08\/wireless-accessibility-people-who-are-deaf-deaf-blind-and-hard\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

If you would like to use one of these forms, all that you need to do is just to put your name and address, and click all the checkboxes to decide who will receive this letter. These letters will be automatically emailed to all the people that you check off.<\/p>\n

However, the CRTC needs to have a copy of these emails also submitted to the record of the specific proceeding (CRTC 2020-178).<\/strong> Please be sure to submit a copy of your letter to CRTC by linking to\u00a0the CRTC 2020-178\u00a0webpage<\/a>.

If you want visual video instructions for submitting your letter, please click on this video link: <\/span>English Letters & Documents<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The four letter webpage template links with 4 different choices of downloadable MS Word Doc letters are available in these links:

Thank you for writing the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and other decision makers. It is important to tell them that inexpensive, unlimited data accessibility plans with no limits are necessary for the Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing community. It\u2019s time for wireless services to become accessible! Thank you for helping to make this change.<\/p>\n

Le CRTC a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une instance publique (CRTC 2020-178)<\/u><\/a>\u00a0afin d\u2019\u00e9tudier la probl\u00e9matique de l\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 aux services sans fil pour toutes les personnes ayant un handicap au Canada, et cela concerne aussi les personnes qui sont Sourdes, Sourdes-aveugles et malentendantes (SSAM).<\/p>\n

Le Comit\u00e9 consultatif pour les Services Sans fil des Sourds du Canada – Deaf Wireless Canada Consultative Committee (CSSSC- DWCC<\/strong>), L\u2019Association des Sourds du Canada – Canadian Association of the Deaf (ASC-CAD<\/strong>), et le Canadian National Society of the Deaf-Blind (CNSDB<\/strong>), travaillent ensemble pour veiller \u00e0 ce que les forfaits sans fil actuels et futurs soient am\u00e9lior\u00e9s en termes de choix et d\u2019abordabilit\u00e9 et de ce qui est appropri\u00e9 et accessible pour les Canadiens SSAM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Les Canadiens SSAM utilisent plus de donn\u00e9es sur leurs t\u00e9l\u00e9phones sans fil car ils utilisent leurs t\u00e9l\u00e9phones intelligents pour des communications vid\u00e9o en langue des signes, ou en particulier pour ceux qui sont sourds-aveugles, pour des applications d’orientation (GPS) afin de trouver leur chemin. Les communications vid\u00e9o sont gourmandes en termes de donn\u00e9es sur les connexions sans fil, ce qui fait en sorte que les forfaits de donn\u00e9es co\u00fbtent cher. C’est injuste parce que ceux qui utilisent la langue des signes avec les communications vid\u00e9o ont besoin de co\u00fbts \u00e9quitables pour les forfaits de donn\u00e9es. C’est leur droit d’avoir des forfaits de donn\u00e9es sans fil \u00e9quitables qui tiennent compte de l’accessibilit\u00e9 pour les communications en langue des signes.<\/p>\n

Des milliers de SSAM et leurs familles, leurs coll\u00e8gues et employeurs sont touch\u00e9s par ces forfaits de donn\u00e9es sans fil trop co\u00fbteux.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 4 mod\u00e8les de lettres qui sont disponibles sur 4 pages internet s\u00e9par\u00e9es, pour un simple \u00abclic et envoi\u00bb \u00e0 toutes les personnes importantes dans les formulaires Web, comme on le voit sur ce site Web, includeme.ca: https:\/\/www.include-me.ca\/making-canada-accessible\/blog\/2020\/08\/wireless-accessibility-people-who-are-deaf-deaf-blind-and-hard<\/a><\/p>\n

Si vous souhaitez utiliser l’un de ces formulaires, il vous suffit de mettre votre nom et votre adresse et de cliquer sur toutes les cases \u00e0 cocher pour d\u00e9cider qui recevra cette lettre. Ces lettres seront automatiquement envoy\u00e9es par e-mail \u00e0 toutes les personnes que vous cochez. Choisissez-en une et ensuite cliquez pour pouvoir les envoyer sous forme de courriel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Le CRTC doit avoir une copie de ces courriels \u00e9galement soumise \u00e0 cette instance publique sp\u00e9cifique<\/strong> (CRTC 2020-178).<\/strong> Veuillez donc vous assurer de soumettre une copie de votre lettre au CRTC en cliquant sur la\u00a0page internet<\/u><\/a>\u00a0du CRTC 2020-178.<\/p>\n

Merci d’avoir \u00e9crit au Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des
t\u00e9l\u00e9communications Canadiennes et aux autres d\u00e9cideurs. Il est important
de leur dire que des plans d’accessibilit\u00e9 aux donn\u00e9es peu co\u00fbteux,
illimit\u00e9s et sans limites sont n\u00e9cessaires pour la communaut\u00e9 des sourds,
des sourds-aveugles et des malentendants. Il est temps que les services sans
fil deviennent accessibles! Merci d’avoir contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 faire ce changement.<\/p>\n
