    13 March 2003 Mr. Alex Himelfarb Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3 Bernard A. Courtois Executive Counsel Dear Mr. Himelfarb: BCE & Bell Canada Subject: Canada Gazette – Notice No. DGTP-001-03 Petition to the Governor in Council from Quebecor Média inc. under Section 12 of the Telecommunications Act in regard to the following CRTC Decision: Quebecor Média inc. – Alleged anti-competitive cross-subsidization of Bell ExpressVu, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 These comments are filed on behalf of BCE Inc. and Bell Canada in response to the petition by Quebecor Média inc. (“Quebecor”) to the Governor in Council regarding Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 (“the Decision”). In its application of 4 April 2002, filed with the CRTC pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure, Quebecor alleged that BCE has been using profits generated by Bell Canada to anti-competitively cross-subsidize the entry of Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership (“ExpressVu”) into the Quebec broadcasting distribution market. Quebecor argued that mechanisms put in place by the Commission to prevent cross-subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada be activated in order to prevent Bell Canada, the dominant player in local telephone service, from becoming the dominant broadcasting distribution undertaking (“BDU”). In its Decision of 8 October 2002, the Commission found that Bell Canada was not, in fact, inappropriately cross-subsidizing ExpressVu, and furthermore, that ExpressVu was not the dominant BDU that Quebecor warned about: [T]he Commission remains of the view that the existing mechanisms, including those recently modified in Decision 2002- 34, are appropriate and sufficient to prevent inappropriate cross- subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada, at the expense of users of telecommunications services.

Box 30 Fax: 819-363-5155 Kingsey Falls, Quebec J0A 1B0 Canada www.cascades.com CASCADES ACQUIRES CONTAINERBOARD PACKAGING PLANTS IN ONTARIO AND INCREASES ITS OWNERSHIP IN GREENPAC Kinsey Falls, QC, December 4, 2017 – Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS) announces the acquisition of four plants in Ontario to strengthen its position in the containerboard packaging sector, and the purchase of an ownership position in Tencorr Holdings Corporation (“Tencorr”). The company also announces an increase in its equity holding of the Greenpac Mill LLC (“Greenpac”). “We are very pleased to expand our presence in Ontario and increase our stake in Greenpac for the second time this year. These transactions align perfectly with our vision and strategy for our containerboard activities,” stated Cascades President and CEO Mario Plourde. The four following plants were acquired from the Coyle family, and specialize in the manufacturing of boxes and speciality products offering strong growth potential: - McLeish Corr-a-Box Packaging & Design – Etobicoke, Ontario - Brown Packaging – Burlington, Ontario - Coyle Corrugated Containers Inc. – Scarborough, Ontario - Coyle Packaging (Peterborough) Ltd. – Peterborough, Ontario This transaction will allow Cascades to expand its presence in Ontario, to increase its production capacity by 500 million square feet per year, and to strengthen its ability to serve customers in this region. These plants already have procurement agreements with Greenpac, and as such the transaction will have little impact on Cascades’ integration rate. Cascades has also acquired the Coyle family’s 33% stake in Tencorr, a company specialized in manufacturing sheet stock for box producers.

  • POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015
    STOP THE PRESSES: POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015 Categories: Insights, Publications On March 25, 2015, after a five month review, the Competition Bureau cleared the purchase by Postmedia of Sun Media's English language assets. Postmedia publishes the National Post as well as local daily papers in towns and cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal. Sun Media's principal English language assets are its online Canoe network as well paid circulation daily newspapers in towns and cities in Canada including Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton and London. As a result of the merger, there will be only one owner of daily paid circulation newspapers in a number of Canadian cities including Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Historically the Competition Bureau has been quite concerned about mergers in the newspaper business – taking the Southam case to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997.[1] It has also historically taken the view that different types of media (print, online, broadcast, etc.) are not particularly close substitutes for one another. However, times change. In its background release with respect to the merger the Bureau noted a number of factors which lead to its decision not to challenge the transaction, including: 1. A lack of close rivalry between Postmedia's broadsheet newspaper and Sun Media's tabloid newspapers, including their different editorial focus. 2. Competition from free local daily newspapers. 3. The increasing competitive pressures from digital alternatives in an evolving media marketplace. 4. The ongoing incentive for the merged company to obtain readership and maintain editorial quality in order to continue to attract advertisers to its newspapers.

  • The Illusion of Choice: Parallels Between the Home Cinema Industry of the 1980S and Modern Streaming Services
    International Journal of Media, Journalism and Mass Communications (IJMJMC) Volume 5, Issue 4, 2019, PP 01-08 ISSN 2454-9479 http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9479.0504001 www.arcjournals.org The Illusion of Choice: Parallels between the Home Cinema Industry of the 1980s and Modern Streaming Services Adam L. Miller* Aichi Shukutoku University, Aichi Pref, Sakuragaoka Ward 23, Nagoya City, Japan *Corresponding Author: Adam L. Miller, Aichi Shukutoku University, Aichi Pref, Sakuragaoka Ward 23, Nagoya City, Japan Abstract: This research article hopes to look at the prolific rise of VHS and home cinema in the 1980s; how it altered the viewing experiences of film-lovers, how the industry adapted to accommodate to this new market and how these viewing habits that started decades ago, still resonate today. The article will be drawing parallels between the VHS based home cinema of the 1980s to the subscription based streaming applications which are prolific today, using Netflix Inc. as the main point of focus. Keywords: “Film Studies;” “VHS;” “Home Cinema;” “Streaming” “Netflix;” 1. INTRODUCTION The article will go on to explore how the sudden emergence of home cinema in the 1980s allowed viewers to explore films, genres, filmmakers and content that is often referred to as „world cinema‟ that they may have otherwise been unaware of. It will be argued that streaming services have the same potential to expose viewers to a wide variety of content, but this potential may not be being fulfilled, as it is not in the best interests of streaming services to have viewers searching through unfamiliar territory.
