Allocation of Paid Broadcasting Time
Under section 335 of the Canada Elections Act, every broadcaster in Canada is required to make available for purchase by registered political parties six and one-half hours (390 minutes) of air time during a federal election. The Act provides that the allocation of this time among the parties is to be made by agreement among them, or failing such agreement, by the decision of the Broadcasting Arbitrator.
