1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-154 dated 13 December 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licences held by Vidéotron ltée, for the cable distribution undertakings serving the above-mentioned localities, from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 2004.
|
|
2. The operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 and the licences will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licences, as well as to those conditions specified in this decision and in the licences to be issued.

3. It is a condition of each licence that, for community programming and any other programming of a service that it originates, the licensee adhere to the guidelines on the depiction of violence in television programming set out in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' "Voluntary Code Regarding Violence in Television Programming", as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission.
|
|
4. The Commission notes that this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act that came into effect on 24 October 1996 (1996 EEA), and therefore files reports concerning employment equity with Human Resources Development Canada. As a result of a consequential amendment to the Broadcasting Act, the Commission no longer has the authority to apply its employment equity policy to any undertaking that is subject to the 1996 EEA.

5. In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), the renewal of the licence for Mont-Laurier is subject to the issuance of a Broadcasting Certificate by the Department of Industry.
|
|
6. The Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(4) of the Act which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 of the Act is of no force or effect.

This decision is to be appended to each licence.
