1 Approval is conditional upon an application, within four months, for the divestiture of its ownership of CKVU-TV Vancouver and its rebroadcasting facilities at Courtenay.

2 Approval is conditional upon an application forthwith to incorporate, as conditions of licence, the minimum levels of local news and non-news programming commitments; as well as the non-duplicative nature of the priority programming.

3 The Commission considers that the public interest is best served by leaving responsibility in the hands of the trustee for the sale of the shares in CFCF Television Inc. to a third party.

4 By letter dated 14 June 2000, CanWest Global withdrew its application.
