Some had felt that simply being not controlled by non-Canadians was sufficient. Section 3(1) of The Broadcast Act<\/a> states a positive requirement for ownership and control by Canadians. Contrast this with 16(3) of The Telecom Act<\/a>, that uses a double negative: not controlled by non-Canadians<\/span>.<\/p>\n
