The petition to the Governor in Council was launched last August by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, the Canadian Satellite Users’ Association, and Star Choice Television Network Inc., supporting the exemption of Telesat Canada’s broadcasting revenue from the current contribution regime (RoW, Oct. 15/01).
