  Preamble for Item 28
This item involves a licence renewal application for a radio programming undertaking, the licensee of which may have failed to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986 and its condition of licence relating to Canadian talent development.
 

Item

Applicant and locality
 

28

Sept-Îles, Quebec
Application No. 2009-0739-7
  Application by Radio Sept-Îles inc. to renew the broadcasting licence for the French-language commercial radio programming undertaking CKCN-FM Sept-Îles, expiring 31 December 2009.1
  It appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with subsection 9(2) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 concerning the provision of annual reports for broadcast years 2005 to 2008 inclusively.
  It further appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with its condition of licence regarding its contributions to Canadian talent development for broadcast years 2005, 2006 and 2007.
  The Commission intends to inquire into this matter at the hearing. Therefore, pursuant to sections 12 and 18 of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission calls the licensee to this hearing to show cause why a mandatory order requiring the licensee to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986 concerning the provision of annual reports and with its condition of licence relating to Canadian talent development contributions should not be issued.
  The Commission notes that, in Broadcasting Decision 2005-113, the station was issued a four-year short-term renewal based on its failure to comply with the Radio Regulations1986 relating to the broadcast of French-language vocal music during the broadcast week, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

  The intervention must include one of the following statements in either the first or the last paragraph:
  1 - I request to appear at the public hearing.
2 - I do not want to appear at the public hearing.
  Interventions will be considered by the Commission, and will form part of the public record of the proceeding without further notification to intervening parties, provided the procedure set out below has been followed.

  A true copy must be sent to the applicant and proof that this has been done must accompany the intervention sent to the Commission.
  The Commission advises those who file and serve by electronic mode to exercise caution when using e-mail for service of documents or notification, as it may be difficult to establish that service has occurred.
  Parties must ensure that, before initiating service through electronic mode, they will be able to satisfy the Commission, upon request, that service of the notification was completed.
  Submissions longer than five pages should include a summary.
  Please number each paragraph of your submission. In addition, where the intervention is filed by electronic means, the line ***End of document*** should be entered following the last paragraph of the document, as an indication that the document has not been damaged during electronic transmission.
  Interventions should clearly identify the application referred to and indicate whether parties support or oppose the application, or, if they propose changes to it, include the facts and grounds for their proposal.
  In the event that the application is brought to the oral phase of the hearing, and if parties wish to appear, they must provide reasons why their written comments are not sufficient and why an appearance is necessary.
  Persons requiring communications support such as assistance listening devices and sign language interpretation are requested to inform the Commission at least twenty (20) days before the commencement of the public hearing so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
  Important notice
  Note that all information that parties provide as part of this public process, except information granted confidentiality, whether sent by postal mail, facsimile, e-mail or through the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca, becomes part of a publicly accessible file and will be posted on the Commission’s website.
