Purpose of the Three-Year Plan

The plan provides a rolling three-year horizon of key CRTC activities. The document is intended to provide Canadians, industry, and other interested stakeholders and groups with important information to prepare for and participate in the CRTC’s public processes. The plan also provides a status update on the activities that the CRTC committed to in the previous year (2014-15). The communications environment is very dynamic. Accordingly, the CRTC may need to adjust its plan to respond to emerging issues.

Status Report on 2024-15 Activities

Create – Modernizing the regulatory framework for the Canadian broadcasting system

Activites that the CRTC commited to for 2024-15 in the CRTC Three-Year Plan 2024-2017 that are:

	Public Consultation on Television	In 2024, the CRTC launched Let’s Talk TV. The goal was to engage Canadians to help design a forward-looking framework for Canada’s television system. After conducting three rounds of consultations and receiving and examining over 13,000 interventions from Canadians, industry, and other interested stakeholders, the CRTC will now begin implementation of the revised regulatory framework. The first decisions were released on the elimination of the 30-day cancellation policy for broadcasting distribution undertakings, simultaneous substitution, and over-the-air broadcasting. In March 2024, the CRTC set out its policy on building a future system that encourages the creation of compelling and diverse programming made by Canadians that facilitates and leads into the transition to an increasingly on-demand environment. The CRTC also set out its policies relating to consumer choice and affordability, as well as consumer information and recourse. These measures are discussed below under the Connect and Protect pillars.
	Commercial Radio Policy	In the fall of 2024, the CRTC issued its modified Commercial Radio Policy, in which it made the regulatory framework for commercial radio more efficient and easier to administer. The CRTC has since started to implement its modified Policy by adopting a revised approach to calls for radio applications, a new process for low-power stations, and new mechanisms to deal with non-compliance, such as permitting licensees to innovate and experimenting with hybrid digital (HD) radio technology.
	Ethnic radio licensing	The CRTC undertook a targeted review of its Ethnic Policy for radio services to address specific issues of this particular media. The consultation process was completed in 2024.
	Vertical integration framework	In September 2024, the CRTC announced amendments to the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (i.e. the Pay Television Regulations, Specialty Services Regulations, and the Television Broadcasting Regulations), which require companies to safeguard against the misuse of competitively sensitive information, thus providing a more conducive environment to the negotiation of terms for the distribution, packaging, and retailing of programming services. The CRTC also introduced changes to its audit requirements to clarify how audits of subscribers’ information held by companies should be conducted by programming services.
	Tangible benefits policy	The CRTC issued a decision on the methodology for determining tangible benefits and the value of the transaction in September 2024. This new approach provides additional guidance so that the benefits proposed by applicants for change in ownership transactions will yield measurable improvements to the communities served by the Canadian broadcasting system.
	Renewal of Roger’s television licences	The CRTC undertook a process to renew the licences for Rogers’ television services and speciality channels to ensure that Rogers provides programming that meets the interests of Canadians and makes appropriate contributions to the creation and broadcast of Canadian content. A short-term renewal of Rogers’ licences was issued in July 2024 to align the licence expiration date with those of other major English-language broadcast groups. The Rogers licensing process will be rolled up with other licence renewals for English-language television groups in 2024-16.
	Obligations under Part VII , section 41 of the Official Languages Act	The CRTC held two discussion group meetings with official language minority communities to discuss certain issues and to inform them of CRTC processes that could affect them.

Three-Year Outlook

Create – Modernizing the regulatory framework for the Canadian broadcasting system

Status Report on 2024-15 Activities

Connect – Improving access to advanced and competitive communications services

Activites that the CRTC commited to for 2024-15 in the CRTC Three-Year Plan 2024-2017 that are:

	Public Consultation on Television	In April 2024, the CRTC provided a response to the Governor in Council on maximizing the ability of Canadian consumers to subscribe to discretionary services on a service-by-service basis. In its response, the CRTC expressed the preliminary view that the distribution and packaging of television services should be reviewed to maximize consumer choice and flexibility. This approach was examined as part of the Let’s Talk TV proceeding. In March 2024, as part of Let’s Talk TV, the CRTC set out its policy to give Canadians choice and control regarding the selection and packaging of their television services. The CRTC’s approach provides incrementally greater choice and flexibility for Canadian TV viewers. The CRTC’s approach will require broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) to offer a small, affordable basic television service that gives priority to Canadian services and is capped at $25 per month. It will also require BDUs to enable Canadians to purchase discretionary programming services on a “pick-and-pay” basis and in small, reasonably priced packages. Lastly, the CRTC will establish an industry code of conduct that will clarify the terms of wholesale agreements negotiated by broadcasters and television service providers.
	Regulatory Framework and Modernization Plan for Northwestel	The CRTC reviewed Northwestel Inc.’s (Northwestel) revised modernization plan to ensure that the implementation targets are being met. The CRTC issued a decision in which it approved Northwestel’s terrestrial retail Internet service rates, and mandated Northwestel to make some changes to reduce the disparity between the rates for the company’s Internet services and similar services in other areas of Canada. In a subsequent decision, the CRTC capped Northwestel’s residential Internet service rates.
	Wholesale services and associated policies	The CRTC reviewed, by means of a public hearing in late 2024, wireline wholesale services (including fibre-to-the-premises facilities) and associated policies. The main goal of this review was to ensure that the wholesale services framework is facilitating the development of a competitive Canadian telecommunications market, while balancing incentives to invest in innovative networks.
	Wholesale mobile wireless services	The CRTC held a public hearing in Fall 2024 as part of a proceeding to determine whether the wholesale mobile wireless services market (including roaming, and tower- and site-sharing services) is sufficiently competitive and, if not, what regulatory measures are required.
	Satellite transport inquiry	Further to the inquiry conducted by the inquiry officer to investigate satellite transport services used to provide telecommunications services in Canada the Inquiry Officer delivered her findings in a report to Commissioners in Fall 2024. On April 9, 2024 the CRTC published the report of the Inquiry Officer.
	Basic telecommunications services	The CRTC prepared for its review to determine which basic services (e.g. voice and broadband) are required by all Canadians to fully participate in the digital economy, and whether there should be changes to the subsidy regime and the national contribution mechanism.
	Broadband performance measurement	In collaboration with several Internet service providers, the CRTC launched a national broadband performance measurement program to help inform Canadians of the state of broadband performance in Canada. In addition, the CRTC launched a campaign to identify and recruit individual Canadians to participate in the testing and measurement of broadband services.
	Payphones	To help Canadians better understand the role that payphones play in the Canadian communications system, the CRTC published the results of its fact-finding exercise and launched two further processes on this issue.
	Fees for paper bills	Following a fact-finding exercise, the CRTC hosted a meeting with the 11 largest communications service providers in Canada to facilitate a discussion on establishing a clear and predictable approach that addresses consumer issues related to paper bill fees. In December 2024, changes to the Telecommunications Act and the Broadcasting Act were introduced to prohibit communications service providers from charging customers a fee to receive paper bills for their wireless, Internet, telephone, and television services.
	Accessibility of mobile wireless handsets	The CRTC has reviewed industry information, external research, and the results of compliance reports in relation to the Wireless Code.
	Video relay services	In December 2024, the CRTC published two decisions that advance the operations of video relay services (VRS) in Canada to ensure that Canadians with hearing or speech disabilities who use sign language can communicate with voice telephone users by means of a relay operator.
	Wholesale mobile wireless data billing practices	The CRTC issued a decision in January 2024 in which it found that Bell Mobility Inc. and Videotron G.P. had violated the Telecommunications Act by exempting their mobile TV services from data charges.

Three-Year Outlook

Connect – Improving access to advanced and competitive communications services

Note: The “Numbering Resources” activity included in the CRTC’s Three-Year Plan 2024-17 has been removed. In January 2024, the CRTC approved guidelines to allow non-geographic numbering resources to be used for machine-to-machine communication services.

Status Report on 2024-15 Activities

Protect – Strengthening the security and safety of Canadians within the communications system

Activites that the CRTC commited to for 2024-15 in the CRTC Three-Year Plan 2024-2017 that are:

	Public Consultation on Television	In March 2024, as part of Let’s Talk TV, the CRTC put in place a system that will help Canadians make informed choices and have recourse where issues arise. These measures include creation of a new Television Service Provider (TVSP) Code of Conduct and identification of an independent ombudsman. The proposed code would require companies to provide better customer services, easy-to-understand agreements, and notification of changes to services. These measures also ensure that Canadians with disabilities will have access to more content that has been adapted to their needs.
	Enhancements to 9-1-1 services	Following a public consultation, the CRTC issued its 9-1-1 Action Plan in June 2024. This plan includes key initiatives aimed at enhancing Canadians’ access to existing 9-1-1 services and facilitating the transition to next-generation 9-1-1 services.
	Emergency alerting	The CRTC implemented regulations, and updated exemption orders and conditions of licence to require the broadcasting industry’s participation in the emergency alerting system. The vast majority of the broadcasting industry successfully implemented emergency alerting in their systems.
	Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) compliance and outreach	The Spam Reporting Centre (SRC) was operational when CASL came into force in July 2024. Approximately 35,000 Canadians have made 250,000 submissions to the SRC and contributed to the launch of investigations. Communications activities were undertaken to inform Canadians about CASL and how they can report to the SRC. The CRTC also conducted cross-country outreach activities with stakeholders to promote compliance with CASL provisions. Investigations launched after 1 July 2024 led to the issuance of warning letters, notices of violation and administrative monetary penalties.
	Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules	The CRTC implemented its decision with respect to the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules (UTRs), conducted outreach activities, and creates communications products to promote compliance with the UTRs and to educate Canadians on their regulatory protections. In addition, the CRTC issued warning letters, citations, notices of violation, and administrative monetary penalties to telemarketers who violated the UTRs.
	Permanent number registration for the National Do Not Call List (DNCL)	The CRTC implemented its decision on permanent number registration, in which it eliminated the finite registration period for telecommunications numbers on the National DNCL. Communications activities were undertaken to inform Canadians that they no longer need to renew or re-register their numbers.
	Wireless Code	The CRTC created an Implementation Report Card that summarizes the extent to which each wireless service provider has complied with the Wireless Code, based on compliance reports filed by wireless service providers in 2024. The CRTC also liaised with the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (CCTS) on a regular basis to assess emerging issues, monitor complaint data, and determine if further action is required. In addition, the CRTC conducted its second year of public opinion research to measure awareness of the Code.
	Caller ID spoofing	The CRTC hosted a workshop in which it collaborated with representatives from domestic and international service providers, as well as regulatory and law enforcement agencies, to explore options for reducing caller ID spoofing. The CRTC, in collaboration with partners, created an initiative on tracking telemarketing calls to unassigned phone numbers (honeypots), and analyzed data to select cases that required enforcement. The CRTC also researched methods of identifying spoofed calls and explored a calling feature that would improve Canadians’ ability to report spoofed calls.
	Voter Contact Registry	The CRTC established a Voter Contact Registry (VCR) and undertook communications activities to inform relevant persons, groups, and service providers of their obligations when contacting voters during election periods. Following a public consultation process, the CRTC issued a decision in which it identified the factors to be considered in the issuance of administrative monetary penalties to those in violation of the VCR rules. The CRTC also issued an information bulletin that sets out the process and requirements for registration in the VCR.
