Decision CRTC 97-68
|
|
L'Association coopérative de Koartak
|
|
Quartaq, Quebec - 199610754
|
|
New cable distribution undertaking
|
|
Following a Public Hearing in Montréal beginning on 2 December 1996, the Commission approves the application by L'Association coopérative de Koartak, for a licence to carry on a cable distribution undertaking to serve Quartaq. The operation of this undertaking will be regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986.
|
|
Subject to the requirements of this decision, the Commission will issue a licence expiring 31 August 1999. 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.
|
|
The Commission notes that Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 1996-12 dated 4 October 1996 incorrectly indicated the applicant's name as "Quartaq Co-Operative Association".
|
|
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.
|
|
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 $55.00.
|
|
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.

|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
