Decision

Ottawa, 5 April 1990
Decision CRTC 90-352
Communi-Câble Inc.
Lachute and Brownsburg, Quebec- 893551200
Following a Public Hearing in Quebec City beginning on 5 December 1989, the Commission renews the Class 2 licence for the broadcasting receiving undertaking serving Lachute and Brownsburg, held by Communi-Câble Inc., from 1 October 1990 to 31 August 1995. The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and II of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licence will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
In addition to the services required or authorized to be distributed pursuant to the applicable sections of the regulations, the licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to continue to distribute, at its option, CHLT-TV Sherbrooke and CICO-TV-24 Ottawa, received over-the-air, as part of the basic service.
Pursuant to section 12 of the regulations, by condition of licence, the licensee is relieved of the obligation that it distribute the programs of CFTM-TV and CFCF-TV Montreal on unrestricted channels. Should the quality of the signals deteriorate significantly, the licensee will be expected to undertake immediate corrective action such as moving the services to other channels.
In Decision CRTC 86-1158 dated 28 November 1986 which approved the transfer of the assets of the undertaking to the present owner, the Commission noted the new owner's proposal to operate a community channel and expected that the funds proposed in the application be increased to ensure the provision of an adequate programming service.
However, in view of the fact that the licensee has not reported any operating expenditures for this purpose for the 1988 fiscal year and that the funds proposed for the next licence term appear to be insufficient, the Commission requires the licensee to submit, within three months of the date of this decision, revised projections for the operation of the community channel as well as more information on its policy regarding the training of volunteers.
