	It should be noted that items 1 to 11 and 13 have already been the subject of a Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing (CRTC 2005-8, 15 September 2005). However, following the announcement of a transaction involving the assets of station CKNU-FM Donnacona, between 6087329 Canada inc. and Radio Nord Communications inc. (Radio Nord), the above-mentioned items were withdrawn from this hearing.
	Please also note that the applications included in item 8 were originally filed by 6087329 Canada Inc. and that these applications are now pursued by Radio Nord.

The first application is to renew the licence of the French-language commercial radio programming undertaking CKNU-FM Donnacona, and where Radio Nord is seeking to amend the condition of licence regarding commercial messages. The second application is to amend the technical parameters of the station. The third application (under item 9), by Radio Charlesbourg/Haute St-Charles, is to amend the technical parameters of French-language Type B community FM radio station CIMI-FM Québec (zone Charlesbourg).

	Preamble
	On 13 July 2004, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49, calling for applications for broadcasting licences to carry on a French-language radio programming undertaking to serve Québec, Quebec. Interested parties had until 11 October 2004 to submit applications to the Commission.
	In Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49-1 of 14 September 2004, the Commission published an amendment to the call for applications in order to specify that following an Order from the Federal Court of Appeal, the call for applications would relate only to radio applications that proposed to use frequencies other than 98.1 MHz.
	On 12 January 2005, the Commission issued a second amendment to its call for applications to serve Québec, Quebec. In Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49-2, the Commission pointed out that, it did not usually specify the language of the service to be proposed in its calls for applications and should not have done so in this case. Therefore, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49 was corrected to exclude the reference to the language of the service to be proposed. Interested parties were given until 28 February 2005 to submit applications to the Commission. Applicants that had submitted applications in response to the original call CRTC 2004-49, also had until 28 February 2005 to review and update their application.
