Across Canada Application No. 2001-0850-8 |
||
| Application by CANAL ÉVASION INC. to amend the licence of the national Frenchlanguagespecialty television service known as Canal Évasion with respect to expenditures on Canadian programming. | |||
| Currently, in decision CRTC 99-112, the condition of licence governing expenditures on Canadian programming requires the licensee to devote a minimum of $4,489,000 to the acquisition of and/or investment in Canadian programs in the broadcast year following the first year of operation. Further, in each subsequent broadcast year, the licensee shall expend on Canadian programs a minimum of 50% of the previous year's gross revenues derived from the operation of this service. | |||
| In Public Notice CRTC 2000-174 dated 15 December 2000, the licensee proposed changing this condition of licence to read as follows: | |||
|
|||
| Later, in decision CRTC 2001-371 dated 21 June 2001, the Commission denied the said application indicating that the effect of this amendment would have the effect of reducing the required expenditures. | |||
| Canal Evasion Inc. is now requesting authorisation to defer the balance of the underexpenditures on Canadian programming for the fiscal year ending 31 August 2001 over the next three years of operation, ending 31 August 2004. | |||
| The licensee has indicated that it would now be able to respect its commitment expenditures toward Canadian programming for the subsequent years while adding, for the next three years, the difference between the expenditures for Canadian programming agreed upon in 2000/2001 and the expenditures anticipated in Decision CRTC 99-112. | |||
| Seeing that all expenditures relative to Canadian programming have been incurred for the fiscal year ending 31 August 2001, the licensee has filed this application. According to the licensee it would be difficult to add any amount to fiscal year 2000-2001 to meet the requirements of its licence. | |||
