Navigational Help

The Tool Bar

The first menu bar on the top of the page, the Common Menu Bar, is mandatory for all Government of Canada websites, in accordance with the norms set forth by the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada's Common Look and Feel Standards. It allows you to perform navigational tasks that are frequently necessary on all government sites, including:

• Switching between the two official languages; in this case, from English to French;
• Allowing you to Contact Us;
• Providing Help by directing you back to this page;
• Running a Search to locate a topic of interest;
• Linking back to the Canada Home Page;

The Sidebar

Keep in mind that while visiting the Tribunal's website, the sidebar is your key navigational tool. From the Home Page, it allows you to immediately uncover the site section that interests you and link there.

The sidebar provides quick access to information of interest to self-employed artists, artists' associations and producers in "Who can benefit from the Act". The biographies of our Chairperson and members are also easily accessible on the sidebar in the "About Us".
