Reasons for decision

I. REASONS FOR THE DECISION

This is further to the request filed on December 7, 1999 by the Société du droit de reproduction des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs du Canada (SODRAC) asking the Board to reassess the interim licence fee which was fixed by the Board in its interim decision dated August 31, 1999.

The Board is not convinced that the issuance of a new interim decision is necessary to protect SODRAC’s interests. The Board is also of the opinion that by avoiding to issue more than one interim decision per file, it thus encourages the parties to be more diligent in the presentation of the case.

For these reasons, and these reasons alone, SODRAC’s request is denied.
