The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) was
established by Parliament in 1968. It is an independent public authority
constituted under the Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. C-22, as amended) and
reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The CRTC is vested with the authority to regulate and supervise all aspects of
the Canadian broadcasting system, as well as to regulate telecommunications
common carriers and service providers that fall under federal jurisdiction. The
CRTC derives its regulatory authority over broadcasting from the
Broadcasting Act (S.C. 1991, c. 11, as
amended). Its telecommunications regulatory powers are derived from the
Telecommunications Act (S.C. 1993, c. 38, as
amended) and the Bell
Canada Act (S.C. 1987, c.19 as amended).
