Accessibility

The Government of Canada is committed to achieving a high standard of accessibility and is working to address issues with third-party service providers. If you have any problems accessing any information on the site, an accessible version of X is available.

X, as a third-party network, is not bound by Government of Canada policies for Web accessibility.

Privacy

The Commission's X account is not a Government of Canada Website. Users are encouraged to read the privacy policy of all such third-party service providers, including X's.

Information shared with the @CRCC_CCETP account is subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act and the Library and Archives Canada Act, which means that the information may be accessed and disclosed in response to a request under any of these acts. Users are advised not to share personal information, including addresses and telephone numbers.

General Enquiries and Media Requests

For information on how to make a complaint, please consult the Commission's Website at: www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca. We will not accept complaints sent via X, nor will we deal with questions concerning complaints if they are received through X.

Media requests will be forwarded to the CRCC's media relations officer.

For questions concerning the @CRCC_CCETP account or its terms of use, please contact our Communications team.

The Commission reserves the right to change the terms of use of its X account at any time without prior notice.
