In addition to this domestic mandate, CBC/Radio-Canada is also required by section 46(2) of the Act to provide an

In establishing and operating our broadcasting activities, CBC/Radio-Canada is expected to comply with licencing and other regulatory requirements established by the CRTC, as well as any requirements under the Radiocommunication Act that may apply to the Corporation’s use of the radiocommunication spectrum.
