| The Commission intends to inquire into these matters at the hearing. The Commission expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why a mandatory order under section 12 of the Broadcasting Act, requiring the licensee to comply with the Regulations relating to the submission of logger tapes and to the submission of annual reports, should not be issued. | ||

||
| Application by 9174-8004 Québec inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the French-language commercial radio programming undertaking CHEQ-FM Sainte-Marie de Beauce. | ||
| The licensee proposes to change the frequency from 101.3 MHz (channel 267A) to 101.5 MHz (channel 268C). It also requests to increase the average effective radiated power from 4,677 to 26,000 watts (maximum effective radiated power from 4,677 to 100,000 watts with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 56.3 to 98 metres). This amendment would result in a significant increase in the station's service area. | ||
| The licensee specifies that these changes will enable it to improve the signal of its CHEQ-FM station while maintaining the use of its transmission site. | ||
| Furthermore, it states that the changes will make it more competitive with the Québec stations received in its service area. | ||
| The Commission notes that the 3 mV/m contour will slightly enter the Québec market. | ||

Quebec, Quebec Application No. 2008-1404-7 |
||
| Application by Sortir FM inc. (previously known as La Radio touristique de Québec inc.) to amend the broadcasting licence for the tourist radio programming undertaking CKJF-FM Québec. | ||
| The licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 90.3 MHz (channel 212LP) to 106.9 MHz (channel 295A1). The licensee also proposes to increase the maximum effective radiated power from 16 to 100 watts. | ||
| The licensee wishes to ensure the continuity of its service given the Commission's decision to authorize Guy Simard, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated, to use the frequency 90.3 MHz in Montmagny (Broadcasting Decision 2008-224). | ||
| The Commission notes that the technical parameters proposed by the applicant, in conjunction with those proposed in the application presented by Michel Cloutier, on behalf of a company to be incorporated (see item 3) could result in dual-third adjacent frequencies interference issues with the existing radio station CBV-FM owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. | ||
| This application was gazetted on 19 December 2008 in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-120. The intervention period closed on 23 January 2009, and no interventions were received in connection with this application. | ||
| The Commission will only accept interventions in connection with the technical parameters proposed by the applicant. | ||
| The Commission may withdraw this application from the hearing if it is not advised by the Department of Industry, at least twenty days prior to the hearing, that the application is technically acceptable. | ||

Roberval, Quebec Application No. 2009-0375-9 |
||
| Application by Groupe Radio Antenne 6 inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the French-language commercial radio programming undertaking CHRL-FM Roberval. | ||
| The licensee proposes to amend the station's authorized contours by decreasing the average effective radiated power from 16,600 to 15,031 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 50,000 watts with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 149.4 metres). | ||
| The licensee has indicated that this application is non-severable from its application (2009-0380-9) to convert CFGT Alma to the FM band, also scheduled at this hearing (item 23). | ||
| The licensee submitted that these amendments will have a positive impact on its application to convert its CFGT Alma station to the FM band since the decrease in CHRL-FM's contours will prevent an overlap in contours with its other Alma station CKYK-FM. | ||
