Ottawa, 9 February 2016

Amendment to the Regulations Amending the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations

1. The Commission announces that it has made an amendment to the Regulations Amending the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (the Regulations) set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2015-514 to make a correction.
2. Specifically, when it made the Regulations, the Commission inadvertently over-narrowed the scope of section 23 of the Regulations. The Regulations Amending the Regulations Amending the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations set out in the appendix to this regulatory policy rectifies that situation.
3. The amendment will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, and will come into force on the date on which it is registered. In this way, when the Regulations come into force on 1 March 2016, section 23 will be correct.
4. The Commission received three comments in response to its call for comments in Broadcasting Notice of Consultation 2015-555, all in support of the amendment. The public record for this proceeding can be found on the Commission's website at www.crtc.gc.ca.
