Technological advancements and deregulation of the local telephone market means the Advisory Board must deal with the CRTC on a regular basis, and that's expensive. The money will allow the Advisory Board to continue to lobby the province for safe delivery of the 911 system for police, fire and ambulance emergency services across the province and here in Halton.
