The Spectrum/Telecom Program is broadly directed at facilitating the development and use of world-class information and communication technologies and services. While the Program draws on a number of instruments, its regulatory basis is firmly rooted in legislation - the principal Acts being the Radiocommunications Act, the Telecommunications Act and the Industry Canada Act.

This document should provide Program managers and staff with the general direction needed to initiate Operational Plans as well as a broad context to guide on-going decisions. Note that both of these activities will require a certain level of interpretation and there will be exceptional circumstances that fall outside the central direction described in this document.
