The term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.

|
With the exception of the requirements stipulated in section 23 of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations), the operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the regulations and the licences will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licences as well as to those conditions specified in the licences to be issued.

In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy", the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission.

The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Broadcasting Certificates of the undertakings serving Saint-Casimir and Saint-Thuribe for a period of two years only, expiring 31 August 1997. With respect to the operation of these undertakings beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(1) of the Act pertaining to the technical certification of broadcasting undertakings and to subsection 22(4) which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 is of no force or effect.
