The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada
The Evolving Role of Competition Act Merger Review in the Transport and Broadcasting Sectors in Canada Richard Elliott [email protected] THE EVOLVING ROLE OF COMPETITION ACT MERGER REVIEW IN THE TRANSPORT AND BROADCASTING SECTORS IN CANADA Richard Elliott* I. Introduction The Competition Act1 is a law of general application which applies, for the most part, equally across diverse sectors of the Canadian economy. In the area of merger review, the Commissioner of the Competition ("Commissioner") and her staff the Competition Bureau ("Bureau") have traditionally reviewed all mergers under the common analytical framework established in the Merger Enforcement Guidelines ("MEGs").2 This same framework has been applied irrespective of whether a merger was also subject to concurrent merger review by another regulator. This paper looks at recent developments regarding regulatory review of mergers in the transport and broadcasting sectors in Canada and discusses whether they are likely to have any impact on the Bureau's role in respect of such mergers. The principal development in the transport area has been the extension in June 2007 of the Canada Transportation Act ("CTA") merger review regime from airlines to all transport sectors.3 This provides for the possibility that the Minister of Transport and Cabinet, not the Competition Tribunal ("Tribunal") or the courts, will have the ultimate decision making authority over mergers, including competition aspects, in the transport sector. In the broadcast sector, recent Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") enforcement decisions and policy developments point to a focus on market concentration issues in a manner that may overlap with, although also diverge from, the reviewing role of the Bureau. -

The Impact of ABC Canada's LEARN Campaign. Results of a National Research Study
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 405 472 CE 073 669 AUTHOR Long, Ellen TITLE The Impact of ABC Canada's LEARN Campaign. Results of a National Research Study. INSTITUTION ABC Canada, Toronto (Ontario). SPONS AGENCY National Literacy Secretariat, Ottawa (Ontario). PUB DATE Jul 96 NOTE 99p. PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Adult Literacy; Adult Programs; *Advertising; Foreign Countries; High School Equivalency Programs; *Literacy Education; Marketing; *Program Effectiveness; *Publicity IDENTIFIERS *Canada; *Literacy Campaigns ABSTRACT An impact study was conducted of ABC CANADA's LEARN campaign, a national media effort aimed at linking potential literacy learners with literacy groups. Two questionnaires were administered to 94 literacy groups, with 3,557 respondents. Findings included the following:(1) 70 percent of calls to literacy groups were from adult learners aged 16-44;(2) more calls were received from men in rural areas and from women in urban areas; (3) 77 percent of callers were native English speakers;(4) 80 percent of callers had not completed high school, compared with 38 percent of the general population; (5) about equal numbers of learners were seeking elementary-level literacy classes and high-school level classes;(6) 44 percent of all calls to literacy organizations were associated with the LEARN campaign; and (7) 95 percent of potential learners who saw a LEARN advertisement said it helped them decide to call. The study showed conclusively that the LEARN campaign is having a profound impact on potential literacy learners and on literacy groups in every part of Canada. (This report includes 5 tables and 24 figures; 9 appendixes include detailed information on the LEARN campaign, the participating organizations, the surveys, and the impacts on various groups.)

December 14, 1993 Heritage Savings Trust Fund Act 47
December 14, 1993 Heritage Savings Trust Fund Act 47 Title: Tuesday, December 14, 1993 hs there were many reasons for building a fund of that size. I think one was that certainly we wanted to establish a large enough fund that Standing Committee on the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund Act could cover a cross section of business activity throughout the province of Alberta. Secondly, we wanted to ensure that we could 10:00 a.m. complete the investment cycle in the venture capital industry S and [Chairman: Mr. Dunford] that investment cycle spans somewhere between seven and 10 years S the idea being that we would invest probably on average $20 MR. CHAIRMAN: I'd like to call the meeting to order. I see it's a million per year. Over a 10-year period, that would be roughly $200 half after 10. Just for the sake of the members, now is the normal million. time that we will be dealing with this: does anyone have a recom- Another concept at that particular time was that we wanted to mendation they wish to read into the record at this point? create a fund large enough that could be considered to be a player in Seeing no hands waving, the next item that I want to mention is the venture capital industry in North America. We wanted to ensure our infamous, carved-in-stone schedule. Thursday has been that we could attract the attention of other venture capital funds that canceled.

Assessing the Effects of the Bell – Astral Acquisition on Media Ownership and Concentration in Canada
Assessing the Effects of the Bell – Astral Acquisition on Media Ownership and Concentration in Canada by Dwayne Winseck, Ph.D. Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Prepared on behalf of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, Consumers' Association of Canada, Canada Without Poverty, and Council of Senior Citizens' Organizations of British Columbia for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s Hearings on the proposed acquisition of Astral Media Inc. by Bell Canada Enterprises to be held in Montreal, QC, September 10, 2012 August 9, 2012 (rev August 13, 2012) PIAC/CAC/CWP/COSCO - APPENDIX A 1 Abstract and Executive Summary This study has been prepared for the Public Interest Advocacy Centre to support its intervention at hearings to be held by the CRTC on Bell’s proposed acquisition of Astral Media. It shows that even by Bell’s own calculations, certain aspects of the transfer of ownership verge close to the CRTC’s thresholds with respect to media concentration. While Bell claims that a combined Bell/Astral “will not exercise market dominance in any sector of the broadcasting industry” (emphasis added, Bell, Reply, A14c), this submission argues otherwise and that the transaction deserves very close scrutiny. It’s key findings can be summarized as follows: • a successful bid by Bell to acquire Astral would catapult it to the top of the ranks in radio, with revenues of $500 million, 106 radio stations, just under 29 percent of the market – twice the size of its nearest competitors: Rogers, CBC and Shaw (Corus). Notwithstanding such an outcome this would not trigger regulatory Rev intervention under the CRTC’s new ownership rules or its Common Ownership Policy. -
