Decision 
CRTC 96-310

Ottawa, 2 August 1996
Cogeco Câble Canada inc.
Saint-Vital-de-Lambton, Quebec - 952210300
Licence renewal
Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-13 dated 19 January 1996, the Commission renews the licence held by Cogeco Câble Canada inc., for the cable distribution undertaking serving Saint-Vital-de-Lambton, from 1 September 1996 to 31 August 2003.
The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licence will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
The licensee requested authority to distribute CKMI-TV (CBC) Québec, a distant signal, received over the air, as part of the basic service of the undertaking. The Commission notes that no authorization is required for distribution of this signal, as it is received over the air.
Consistent with Decision CRTC 89-353 dated 20 June 1989, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence of the requirement of paragraph 22(1)(b) of the regulations to distribute the regional programming service of CBVT-6 (CBC) Beauceville. The licensee distributes instead the extra-regional signal of CBVT (CBC) Québec.
Consistent with Decision CRTC 95-591 dated 24 August 1995, the licensee is authorized to originate a video games service as a special programming service, offered on a discretionary basis, subject to the conditions listed in that decision.
Consistent with Decision CRTC 95-744 dated 11 October 1995, the licensee is also authorized, by condition of licence, to insert, at its option, certain promotional material as a substitute for the "local availabilities" (i.e. non-Canadian advertising material) of non-Canadian satellite services. At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25% of the local availabilities may be made available for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages, customer service information, channel realignments, cable FM service and additional cable outlets.
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Imple-mentation 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.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
