CRTC SUBMISSION
The Council of Canadians has made a submission to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regarding the CanWest Media Works Inc. application to acquire Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc. - read more -
The Council is urging the Commission to reject the application so that Canadian-owned firms can be given an appropriate opportunity to acquire these assets in conformity with Canada’s Broadcasting Act. Failure to do so will result in the Canadian broadcasting system as well as other significant Canadian cultural assets being effectively owned and controlled by non-Canadians. The Canadian broadcasting system is a public service essential to the maintenance and enhancement of national identity and cultural sovereignty. The Council requests an opportunity to appear at the CRTC Public Hearings to elaborate on its position. Click here to read the full submission (PDF).
