Radiocommunication Act

The Radiocommunication Act (French: Loi sur la radiocommunication) is an Act of Parliament respecting radiocommunication in Canada. It was enacted in 1985.

The Radiocommunication Act is administered by the Government of Canada's Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada department. It governs the licensing and regulation of radio equipment and the technical certification of radio communications equipment.[1]

Regulation of radio stations using licensed equipment is governed by other Acts of Parliament. Licensing of radio stations began in 1919, and the first Act in Canada came in 1932: the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act, followed by the Canadian Broadcasting Act of 1936. The Broadcasting Act of 1958 established a new regulatory agency for private stations. The 1968 Broadcasting Act established the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, and was further revised in 1991. These acts are administered by the Department of Canadian Heritage.[1]

gollark: The entropy issue is, as far as I know, entirely intractable with current physics knowledge.
gollark: Hardly. By then humans will either be spread out enough to not care or dead.
gollark: It probably doesn't have enough usable... harnessable energy or something... to run forever, but there being none left is one of those problems which won't be a problem for incomprehensibly large amounts of time when humans will be very different anyway.
gollark: Yes, the universe is quite big.
