As requested by NAV CANADA:
The full market assessment report is not yet available publicly for sharing.
The Town Hall recording of NAV CANADA’s segment will also remain hidden until NAV CANADA is ready to share it more broadly. NAV is currently working on crafting a broader communication to distribute the preview of the market assessment.
