Dear Sir,



I am Deaf. I am concerned about my freedom of choice in respect of the

review of TV captioning your department is conducting.



I believe I all TV programs should be closed captioned, and every TV set

sold should contain a decoder.



I do not want to continue being controlled and forced to watch TV, and

which programs, only when others dictate.



I do want freedom of choice.



I trust you will take this into consideration in your deliberations.



Yours faithfully,









Ian Boucher



regards,

Ian_Boucher
