The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has just released a free brochure that explains in simple, non- bureaucratic language how it regulates telecommunications, broadcasting and cable television in Canada. The brochure was developed "as part of the Commission's ongoing efforts to strengthen its communication with Canadians." The booklet is called, "So, what good is the CRTC?". If you would like to receive a free copy, write to: Information Services Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0N2 telephone (819) 997-0313 (voice) fax (819) 994-0218 TDD: (819) 994-0423 You can also order a free copy of the CRTC annual report from the same address. I would particularly encourage anybody who works for a regulatory commission to order the booklet, and think about preparing a similar one for their own agency. (A word of explanation about the 819 area code: The CRTC is actually located in Hull and has Hull phone numbers, but like many federal government offices in Hull, receives its mail through the Ottawa post office.)
