|
|
The Issatik Eskimo Co-operative Limited
|
|
Whale Cove, Northwest Territories - 199610217
|
|
New cable distribution undertaking
|
|
1. Following a Public Hearing in Toronto beginning on 14 April 1997, the Commission approves the application by The Issatik Eskimo Co-operative Limited for a licence to carry on a cable distribution undertaking to serve Whale Cove. The operation of this undertaking will be regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986.
|
|
2. Subject to the requirements of this decision, the Commission will issue a licence expiring 31 August 2000. This licence will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued. This term is consistent with the Commission's practice regarding the licensing of new Part III cable distribution undertakings.
|
|
3. It is a condition of licence that the licensee be relieved of the requirement to own and operate its own local head end, amplifiers and subscriber service drops.
|
|
4. It is a condition of 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.
|
|
5. Although the Commission does not regulate the rates of Part III cable distribution undertakings, it notes that the applicant has proposed a monthly subscriber fee of $60.00.
|
|
6. This authority will only be effective and the licence will only be issued at such time as the construction of the undertaking is completed and it is prepared to commence operation. If the construction is not completed within twelve months of the date of this decision or, where the applicant applies to the Commission within this period and satisfies the Commission that it cannot complete construction and commence operation before the expiry of this period and that an extension of time is in the public interest, within such further periods of time as are approved in writing by the Commission, the licence will not be issued. The applicant is required to advise the Commission (before the expiry of the twelve-month period or any extension thereof) in writing, once it has completed construction and is prepared to commence operation.
|
|
7. 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 applicant 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.
