Over the normal course of business, broadcasters and television service providers engage in commercial negotiations to set wholesale rates for the discretionary television channels that are offered to Canadians. The Commission stands ready to assist parties when they are unable to conclude an agreement on their own. Our dispute resolution services are designed to ensure that negotiations are conducted fairly and in good faith.

The CRTC believes that a person’s ability to participate meaningfully in society is directly linked to their ability to access communications services. During the last three decades, the CRTC has adopted a series of regulatory policies to ensure that all Canadians can access communications services. We have updated these policies as new technologies and resources became available.
