The CRTC is the "Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission". (In their own words:) They are 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.
Now, I was told that these are the folks to complain to about unacceptable practices by Canadian telecommunications providers. But judging by their web site, I'm not sure that's true.
At the time of writing, this was the list of current "proceedings" - I don't see any mention of us poor individuals. It seems to be all corporations getting their way. Then again, I didn't look that closely, so perhaps I'm mistaken ...
