The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is an administrative tribunal, established under the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, which regulates and supervises Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications in the public interest, as well as enhances the privacy and safety of Canadians. In addition, the Commission has responsibilities under Canada’s anti-spam legislation, which addresses the sending of commercial electronic messages (for example, spam), among other things. The Commission’s role is thus to maintain a delicate balance in the public interest between the cultural, social and economic goals of its governing legislation on broadcasting and telecommunications. Access to network infrastructure has never been more important and new network technologies and shifts in competition present broad opportunities and challenges. There is also a further expanded mandate in the digital sphere presently under consideration in Parliament. This is an exciting time of change as the regulator evolves with the needs of Canadians and the creative and communication sectors, and changing technology. The Commission is accountable for its activities to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.With the exception of decision-making responsibilities, the two Vice-Chairpersons report to the Chairperson. The incumbents are responsible for assisting the Chairperson in providing effective leadership to the Commission, assuming responsibility for either broadcasting or telecommunications issues respectively, and for providing support to the management of the administrative tribunal.
