In order not to jeopardize the financial viability of neighbouring subscription-based systems, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall not solicit or accept a subscription from, or make available equipment to decode its signals for use by, any person resident inside or outside of the area encompassed by the contours approved for the licensee by the Commission, when that person is resident
|
|
a) within the authorized service area of any cable distribution undertaking licensed now or in the future, or
|
|
b) within the area encompassed by the contours approved by the Commission for any other subscription-based broadcasting undertaking licensed now or in the future,

unless the prior written consent of the licensee of the other undertaking or the prior approval of the Commission has been obtained or, in the case of a person residing inside the approved contours, that person had subscribed to the licensee's subscription television service prior to the licensing of the other undertaking.

|
The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Broadcasting Certificate for a period of one year only. With respect to the operation of this undertaking beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting 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.

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. In this regard, the Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
