  2. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission approves the application by the CBC to amend the broadcasting licence for the French-language radio programming undertaking CBJ-FM Saguenay, Quebec, in order to operate a new transmitter in Petit-Saguenay to rebroadcast the programming of its national network service ICI Radio-Canada Première.
