1. Context and Perspective: Canadian Telecommunications and Broadcast
Law
Law and policy are the means by which governments intervene in our cultural
environment. Though their influence is invisible to the person watching TV or making a
cellphone call, law and policy have enormous consequences for communication as we know it. Electronic communication in Canada is defined by two major pieces of
legislation: the Telecommunications Act of 1993, and the Broadcasting Act of 1991.

the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Acts named above, these four pieces of
legislation provide the basis of communication law and policy in Canada.

institutions that serve to convey communications content but that themselves have no

they communicate to their publics, and as such have legal liability for the content of
those messages. Given the very different historic role of common carriers and content
providers, the Telecommunications Act and the Broadcasting Act recognize this
difference in law.
