"Tribunal's Responsibilities The Tribunal's principal responsibilities are: to define the sectors of cultural activity within federal jurisdiction that are suitable for collective bargaining; to certify artists' associations to represent these sectors; to hear and decide complaints of unfair practices filed by artists, artists' associations or producers and to prescribe appropriate remedies.

The Tribunal's mandate is to encourage constructive professional relations between artists, as independent entrepreneurs, and producers in the federal jurisdiction. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Tribunal's aim is to protect the right of certified artists' associations and producers to negotiate scale agreements setting the minimum terms and conditions of engagement for independent artists. In this manner, the Tribunal plays an important role in contributing to the enhancement of Canada's cultural community. The Tribunal reports to Parliament through the Minister of Labour. However, certain provisions of the Act specify a role for the Minister of Canadian Heritage."
