ORDER OF THE BOARD

 

Proceeding: SOCAN Tariff 22.D.3 – Online Allied Services (2014-2023)

March 28, 2023

[2] Included in the Ruling were three orders, the first of which was for the Objectors and the Intervener to indicate their intent to participate in the proceeding no later than Monday, March 27, 2023. Failure to indicate such intent would result in the Board deeming that entity as no longer a participant in the proceeding as of Tuesday, March 28, 2023.

[3] On March 27, 2023, the Board received submissions from Goodlife Fitness Centers Inc. and Stingray indicating that they would not be participating in the proceeding.
