Last month one of the most outspoken of the CRTC's Commis- sioners retired. The Toronto Globe and Mail recently carried an article by Robert Stephens based on an interview with the retir- ing Commissioner. "The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is out of touch with reality, says a CRTC commissioner, and the federal agency should realize that it can no longer regulate tele- vision choice. John Grace, a full- time commissioner for the past 2% years, said in a recent interview in Ottawa that new tech- nology such as satellite- delivered television and video cassettes have freed viewers from the dictates of an _ inter- ventionist agency. "And yet the CRTC has proposed tougher Canadian content rules," Mr. Grace said. "That approach won't work. People now can watch whatever they please."' Federal Communica- tions Minister Francis Fox himself recognized the implications of the new broadcast environ- ment in a policy announ- ced earlier this month. Mr. Fox noted that many foreign satellite signals are now avail- able, and in abolishing certain satellite-dish li- cencing requirements, he said "the new broad- casting technology nei- ther recognizes nor res- pects a boundar- ies. Mr. Grae: who will leave the CRTC in the next few weeks to be- come the new federal privacy commissioner, said the agency's pro- clivity to over-regulate Canadian broadcasting will put it on a collision _course with Government policy. 'There is an inherent contradiction between the direction of the CRTC and government policy. There is going to be a clash,"' he said. The CRTC has sug- gested imposing a mini- mum 35 per cent Cana- dian content level during mid-evening viewing hours, and Mr. Grace predicted that "the commission will likely receive a direct- ive from Cabinet to for- get about the proposal." Mr. Fox said in his broadcasting plan that the federal Government would seek Parliament- ary approval to give Cabinet the power to is- sue binding directives to the CRTC on broad poli- cy matters. Several other CRTC proposals are repugnant to Mr. Grace. He is opposed to a suggestion that the commission be allowed to order tele- vision broadcasters to increase their spending on certain categories of Canadian program- ming. Mr. Grace and Jean- Louis Gagnon, who re- cently retired from the commission, wrote a strongly-worded dis- senting opinion on the CRTC's policy state- ment issued Jan. 31. "The commission' is proposing regulations for a broadcasting world which no longer exists,"' they wrote. . Ernest Steele, presi- dent of the Canadian Association of Broad- casters, said the indus- try regretted the depart- ure of both Mr. Grace and Mr. Gagnon from the commission. He said the two had earned the respect of the industry for their uncompromis- ing courage in challeng- ing the majority view. Mr. Grace favors an incentive system that would allow television stations to fall below the existing minimum Cana- dian content quotas in return for programming excellence. | The CRTC argued in its policy statement that if the domestic commu- nications system "ser- ves only for the importa- tion of foreign pro- grams, there is a real and legitimate concern that the country will ultimately lose the means of expressing its identity." But that sort of na- tionalistic rhetoric is lost on Mr. Grace. He said Canadian culture "is not a hothouse plant" that needs regulatory pro- tection, and he rejected the "insulting suggest- ion" that people who watch a lot of U.S. tele- vision are any less Cana- dian. For his dissenting opinions, he received a letter of rebuke from the Canadian Conference of the Arts. The letter, signed by national di- rector Jeffrey Holmes and dated Feb. 3, chas- tised Mr. Grace for adopting the "naive" attitude that has frus- trated attempts to create a distinctively Cana- dian broadcasting sys- tem. But Mr. Grace, de- fending himself in the interview, said he never thought of his job as a crusade for more Cana- dian content.
