Summary of the main progress made by your institution in 2010-2011
As an administrative tribunal, the CRTC neither manages programs or services, nor funds activities. However, the CRTC, in carrying out its mandate, issues, renews or amends broadcasting licences and develops regulatory policy.
In the Commission’s two sectors, telecommunications and broadcasting, however, two positive key measures are having direct positive impacts on Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC):
- Regular meetings of the CRTC-OLMC discussion group facilitate OLMC participation in the Commission’s public proceedings:
- The OLMC intervene more often and more effectively in proceedings that affect them and their development and vitality, by presenting their perspectives and priorities;
- in 2010-2011, approximately 15 organizations from OLMC participated in proceedings that affected them;
- The OLMC intervene more often and more effectively in proceedings that affect them and their development and vitality, by presenting their perspectives and priorities;
- Implementation of lens 41, meaning the systematic integration of an impact analysis to determine the impact of these decision-making processes on the communities, allows the Commission to take into account OLMCs’ interests in the analysis and deliberations leading to decisions:
- in 2010-2011, approximately twenty proceedings affecting OLMC included impact analyses that took OLMC interests into account.
Specifically, the Commission asked questions and issued conditions of licence, expectations and encouragements in a number of its public proceedings. Most importantly, in 2010-2011 the Commission made, among others, the following decisions, the impacts of are improved access to broadcasting and telecommunications services and greater reflection of OLMC within the broadcasting system:
- In October 2010, the Commission required Shaw to provide and install a satellite receiver and dish to qualifying households across Canada, including those in OLMC, that are affected by the transition to digital television. Shaw must also provide those households with free access to their local and regional television stations on its satellite service. This requirement was one of the conditions for the Commission’s approval of Shaw’s acquisition of the Canwest Global television properties;
- OLMC will benefit from the distribution by Shaw and Bell satellite services of the eligible regional CBC stations, CBLFT Toronto and CBKFT Regina, as a consequence of the Review of the direct-to-home satellite distribution policy ;
- In its Community television policy, the Commission required licensed BDUs that operate a community channel to indicate in their annual reports the number of requests for access received from OLMC groups or members to ensure that the OLMC benefit from community television services that reflect their realities, needs and concerns, beginning in the 2010 broadcast year (September 1, 2010, to August 31, 2011).
French-speaking minorities outside Quebec
Throughout the process leading to the issuance of a new licence to Saskatchewan Communications Network (SCN), an educational programming undertaking in Saskatchewan, the Commission included questions that made the licensee aware of the realities of Saskatchewan’s Francophone community and an impact analysis to take the community’s needs into account in the Commission’s decision-making process. As a result, in its decision, the Commission encouraged SCN to continue to consider proposals in any language for broadcast, including programming proposals that reflect the realities and celebrate the culture and heritage of French-language groups in the province.
English-speaking minorities in Quebec
From the outset, licence renewal proceedings for English-language broadcasters took into account the needs of the English-language communities in Quebec and in Montreal. Broadcasters were asked questions about the reflection of English-language communities in Quebec and Montreal and about programming originating in these communities, thereby making the broadcasters aware of these issues and giving them an opportunity to consider their future plans and strategies. Community representatives, English-language Arts network (ELAN) and Quebec English Language Production Committee (QPC) were given the opportunity to intervene in the March 7, 2011 Gatineau hearing via videoconference from Montreal and present their needs and positions, which will be considered by the Commission when making its determinations.
Promotion of English and French in Canadian society
In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-905, Revision of the definition of a Canadian program to include Canadian programs that have been dubbed in Canada and outside Canada, the Commission revised the definition of a Canadian program so that from now on, Canadian programs dubbed in Canada and outside Canada will be considered as part of the certification process. In other words, this policy will further stimulate dubbing in Canada and will ensure respect for the creative and linguistic choices of French and English producers and distributors in Canada.
In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-59, Standard Requirements for video-on-demand undertakings, the Commission stated that it expects the licensee to make its program offering available to the maximum extent possible to customers in both official languages.
What regional "success stories" (progress or results in the communities) would your institution like to highlight?
By facilitating access to its regional videoconferencing facilities, the CRTC encourages active participation by OLMC who would perhaps be otherwise unable to attend the discussion group CRTC-OLMC meetings or the Commission proceedings in person. For example, in preparation for the sixth meeting of the CRTC-OLMC discussion groups held in Ottawa in November, the Commission’s regional offices made local videoconferencing systems available to OLMC in Montreal, British Columbia and Dartmouth. Also, for the hearing on licence renewals for English-language services, ELAN and QPC participated from the Montreal regional CRTC office via videoconferencing.
Regional Commissioners and CRTC staff continue to remain accessible to members of OLMC. English-language speaking communities representatives, ELAN and QPC, had, on several occasions, the opportunity to meet with the Commissioner for Quebec as well as with CRTC management to discuss their concerns and receive information adapted to their needs.
