In other words,if they want to watch i love lucy 24 hours a day and not cbc propaganda and promotion of their politcal masters so be it .If they don't want journalists on the cbc /hockey night in canada or tvo's once enjoyable saturday night at the movies, they tell ,not ask ,the crtc to see to it. it's become a form of bribery that the liberals have formed with journalists in this country.you people play nice and we'll get you a job on the cbc and all the paid guest spots your pocketbook can bare,just push our[not your ! ] agendas and get us re-elected, and hey ! maybe you can even get to become governer general or sit on the human rights commision or CRTC one day. Just be sure to prevent any cell phone or cable competition,you know, that might make for more competitive rates , and protect our -whoops- ! I mean the CBC's interests . The separation of public interest groups, bodies, and commisions is long, long overdue ! A society is only as good as it's media and the passive poodles in this country are never anywhere to be seen regarding this issue .

Problem is that it is funded and operated by the companies that the disputes are filed against. I know first hand (through the non-result of a recent complaint that I filed with them) that they a corporate sham of an institution. And yes, I also signed the petition a few days ago :) And let us not forget the useless CCTS, which the CRTC demanded be set up to handle telecom disputes.

At the time I'm typing this, there are 3,280 signatures. I still think there should be another effort like this, with the theme "We need to break Bell into non-conflicting, separately-owned companies".

It should be closed because it produces biased reports from which policy decisions affecting all Canadians are made. Here is one of their latest sponsors, Thierry Vandal at Hydro-Quebec. QUEBEC — Autre chapitre dans la saga des dons et commandites controversés d'Hydro-Québec: la société d'Etat s'est engagée à verser 50 000 $ au Conference board du Canada. Le hic, c'est que le président-directeur général d'Hydro, Thierry Vandal, siégeait aussi au conseil d'administration du groupe de réflexion et d'analyse économique lorsque la commandite a été accordée en 2006.
