How does June 14 sound for an announcement?<\/p>\n<p>Not that the TPR Panel should get any particular credit for this. A source of ours hears that Heritage officials are apparently not very happy about the \u201cgratuitous\u201d comments from the Panel on point. The reality is that with a former <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pch.gc.ca\/pc-ch\/min\/oda\/biograph_e.cfm\">CRTC Commissioner \/ Broadcast Exec<\/a> as Minister of Canadian Heritage (Bev Oda) and a former CRTC Broadcast Executive Director as the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for broadcasting (Jean-Pierre Blais), Heritage Canada has all the motivation it needs to start flexing its muscle on the what, when and how of the CRTC\u2019s future direction in Broadcasting. The real help from the TPR comes in its suggested \u201cget out of the way\u201d approach to telecom.<\/p>\n<p>A broadcasting colleague of ours suggests that \u201cgetting in the way\u201d is exactly what Canadian Heritage and the CRTC need to do if the Canadian Broadcasting Act is to have any future.<\/p>\n<p>Bev Oda broke the ice to broadcast executives at the Banff TV Fest last year. Gone was the traditional CBC and CRTC bashing; instead, the language was \u201cstable long term funding\u201d and \u201cefficiency\u201d. Watch for a triumphant return of Minister Oda to Banff in mid-June this year, perhaps announcing ways to bridge the historic conflict between Industry and Heritage.<\/p>\n<p>We suspect that Heritage Minister Oda would like Industry Minister <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/cmb\/welcomeic.nsf\/min\/Minister\">Bernier<\/a>\u2019s Quebec support for her program and, in any event, we suspect that this PMO will not tolerate the kind of public disagreements typical of former Heritage and Industry Ministers.<\/p>\n<p>There is a nice possible one-two punch being set up here. Minister Bernier announces his response to the TPR at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telecomsummit.com\">Canadian Telecom Summit<\/a> on June 13 and on the following day,  will Minister Oda announce a Broadcast Policy Review during her speech at Banff?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Telecom Policy Review panel now having suggested a formal \u201cBroadcast Policy Review\u201d, it may be only a matter of time before Heritage Canada takes on such a project.
