Notes:

1 Two legal proceedings have been filed in the Federal Court of Canada (court files T-2277-03 and T-276-04) challenging the legality of Part II Licence Fees. On December 14, 2006 the Federal Court rendered a decision declaring that the Part II Licence Fees are a tax and ultra vires the authority conferred on the CRTC by Section 11 of the Broadcasting Act to establish a schedule of fees. Fees prescribed by Section 11 of the Regulations were suspended for a maximum of nine (9) months to allow the appropriate branch of the government to react and to put in effect this judgment. In January 2007, Appeals of the decision were launched by the plaintiffs and Notices of Cross-Appeal have been filed by the Crown. [back]

2 See section entitled ''Explanation of Revenue'' for further information. [back]

3 The CRTC retains respendable revenue to fund its operating budget. [back]

4 Non-respendable revenue for Part I broadcasting licence fees and CRTC telecommunications fees recovers the costs incurred by other federal government departments for services (excluding Industry Canada spectrum management) rendered without charge to the CRTC (see table 4 entitled "Services Provided Without Charge" for the Estimates Year) as well as the statutory costs of employee benefit plans. Part II broadcasting licence fees are also considered to be non-respendable revenue. These revenues are credited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). [back]

5 The true-up adjustment represents the difference between the estimated costs initially billed in a previous fiscal year and the actual costs incurred. [back]

6 The fee paying members of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) and 14 corporate plaintiffs, and Vidéotron Ltée, Vidéotron (Regional) Ltée, and CF Cable TV inc. [back]
