2. The Commission will issue a licence to Radio Nord inc., expiring 31 August 2004, upon surrender of the current licence. The licence will be subject to the same conditions as those in effect under the current licence, as well as to any other condition specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
|

3. The licence term granted herein will enable the Commission to consider the renewal of this licence in accordance with the Commission's regional plan.

4. The Commission notes that this transaction represents an inter-corporate reorganization that does not alter the effective control of the licensee.
|

5. The Commission reaffirms the particular importance it attaches to the development of Canadian talent and, in that respect notes the commitment by the licensee at the Québec Public Hearing held on 27 January 1998 and referred to in Decision CRTC 98-106, to maintain its annual contribution to $1,000 in direct costs for Canadian talent development for CKLS-FM La Sarre, CKRN Rouyn-Noranda, CKVD Val D'Or and CHAD Amos, even after the latter three stations are closed.
