| | Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-615 |
 | | On 2 March 2006, Commission staff sent letters to ExpressVu and Star Choice in which it asked whether it was the intent of these BDUs to distribute SSR services, and sought their comments regarding their authority to carry such services. |
 | | ExpressVu drew a distinction between the "types" of broadcasting undertakings defined in section 2 of the Act and the "classes" of licences that the Commission may establish pursuant to section 9(1)(b) of the Act. |
 | | For example, ExpressVu stated that a BDU, as defined in the Act, cannot be rendered a different type of undertaking, ignoring the plain statutory definition, simply because the Commission issues it a licence that omits the word "distribution". |
