Order declining to set aside or to refer back to the CRTC Decision CRTC 2000-219

P.C. 2000-1550 4 October, 2000

Whereas the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission rendered Decision CRTC 2000-219 on July 6, 2000 approving an application by CHUM Limited for a broadcasting licence to carry on an English-language television programming undertaking at Victoria, British Columbia, operating on channel 53, with an effective radiated power of 12,000 watts, and an application by CHUM Limited for a transmitter at Vancouver on channel 17 with an effective radiated power of 44,000 watts to rebroadcast the signal of the new Victoria station;

Whereas the Governor in Council has received a petition requesting that the said decision be referred back to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for reconsideration and hearing by the Commission;

And whereas the Governor in Council, having considered the petition, is not satisfied that Decision CRTC 2000-219 derogates from the attainment of the objectives of the broadcasting policy set out in subsection 3(1) of the Broadcasting Act;

Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Canadian Heritage, pursuant to section 28 of the Broadcasting Act, hereby declines to set aside or to refer Decision CRTC 2000-219 of July 6, 2000 back to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for reconsideration and hearing by the Commission.
