The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is an independent public organization that regulates and supervises the Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications systems.
The CRTC does not regulate newspapers, magazines, cell phone rates, the quality of service and business practices of cell phone companies, or the quality and content of TV and radio programs.
As an independent organization, the CRTC works to serve the needs and interests of citizens, industries, interest groups and the government.
The CRTC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
