1. |
In Broadcasting Notice of Consultation 2009-411, the Commission initiated a process to resolve the policy issues that must be dealt with before a group licence renewal hearing can proceed. Among these issues, as stated at paragraph 39, are what mechanism should be used for establishing a negotiated, fair value for conventional signals, and what method should be used to achieve resolution through binding arbitration, if required. The deadline for filing comments was 10 August 2009. |

2. |
On 6 August 2009, the Commission was served by Bell Canada and related companies with a Notice of Application for judicial review and a Notice of Motion for Leave to Appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal with regard to paragraphs 37 through 39 of Broadcasting Notice of Consultation 2009-411. In these documents, Bell Canada alleges that the Commission has denied it and other parties the opportunity to make submissions on the issue of whether a negotiated, free market value for local conventional signals is appropriate. |
|
3. |
The Commission requires time to consider the implications of this litigation for the current proceeding. Therefore, the Commission extends the deadline for filing comments to 17 August 2009. |
|
4. |
The Commission intends to issue an amended Broadcasting Notice of Consultation, if appropriate, on or before 14 August 2009. |
