4. 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.

5. 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. The Commission notes that the licensee did not indicate in its application that it has put in place any measures in this regard. The Commission considers that the licensee should increase its efforts in this area.

6. Radio Nord inc., licensee of CFGS-TV (TQS) Hull, filed an intervention pointing out that Regional Cablesystems Inc. does not distribute CFGS-TV at Chesterville, Merrickville and Winchester. In its reply to the intervention, the licensee indicated that CFGS-TV is not a priority signal for these undertakings, as defined in the regulations.
