Model Class Screening Report for Routine Front Country Projects in Banff National Park — Public notice

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the report entitled Model Class Screening Report for Routine Front Country Projects in Banff National Park (the MCSR) to be a model class screening report pursuant to the provisions of subsection 19(1) and paragraph 19(2)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).

Public consultations on the MCSR took place from June 15 to July 14, 2005. The Agency received no written submissions from the public concerning the MCSR. In making the declaration proposed by Parks Canada, the Agency has reviewed the MCSR and has determined that the project screening process, as described in the document, will meet the requirements of the Act for the environmental assessment of the class of projects. It is also the opinion of the Agency that the class of projects described in the MCSR is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when the design standards and mitigation measures described in the report are applied.

The declaration is effective September 17, 2005, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Subject to subsection 19(8) of the Act, the declaration period is valid until September 17, 2010.
• Parks Canada will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declaration expires, of its intention to renew the MCSR, to renew the MCSR with modifications or additions, or not to renew the MCSR and thereby allow the declaration to expire.
• To renew the MCSR, Parks Canada will submit the proposed class screening report to the Agency not less than three months prior to the expiration date of this declaration so that the Agency may initiate a new declaration process.
• Parks Canada and the Agency will ensure that the MCSR, and subsequent class screening project reports, are made available to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act, as the MCSR may be amended from time to time. As such, Parks Canada will place the MCSR, and subsequent class screening project reports, in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (the CEAR) project file of its Regional Office. Parks Canada will also post a statement of the projects in respect of which the MCSR was used on the CEAR Internet site, on a quarterly basis, as required under paragraph 55.1(2)(d) of the Act.
• Any amendments to the report will be developed and implemented in accordance with the provisions for amendment contained in section 5.2 of the MCSR.

DETERMINATION

Educational and training services

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2005-004) on September 7, 2005, with respect to a complaint filed by Northern Lights Aerobatic Team, Inc. (Northern Lights), of Montréal, Quebec, under subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, S.C. 1993, c. 44, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. W0153-03PM02/C) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence. The solicitation was for the provision of airborne training services.

It was alleged that PWGSC had incorrectly declared Northern Lights' proposal non-compliant, that PWGSC had improperly sought clarifications with regard to the winning bidder's proposal and that PWGSC had issued a standing offer to a non-compliant bidder.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.

Further information may be obtained from the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (telephone), (613) 990-2439 (fax).

PUBLIC NOTICE 2005-88

Determinations on a request by the Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association for an amendment to the Commission's policy regarding the use by cable broadcasting distribution undertakings of local availabilities contained in the signals of U.S. satellite programming services

In the public notice, the Commission rejects a request by the Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association (CCTA) that the Commission amend its policy regarding the use by cable broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) of local availabilities contained in the signals of certain U.S. satellite programming services. Specifically, the CCTA requested that cable BDUs be permitted to use the local availabilities for the insertion of commercial advertising, as well as other messages promoting BDU or BDU-affiliated non-programming services, including telephony services.

The Commission's decision with respect to the CCTA's request has a bearing on further determinations announced today in two other broadcasting proceedings. In Proposed amendments to conditions of licence, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-460, the Commission denies the application by Vidéotron ltée, on behalf of itself and two subsidiaries, for amendments to the conditions of licence of various cable BDUs in Quebec. The proposed amendments would have permitted the BDUs to insert commercial advertising, including messages promoting affiliated broadcasting services, in 50 percent of the local availabilities contained in the signals of three U.S. satellite programming services. In Tools to promote and improve the visibility of services whose national distribution is required pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-89, the Commission sets out its determinations regarding appropriate mechanisms, including the use of local availabilities, to promote and improve the visibility of Canadian programming services, the carriage of which by BDUs is mandatory pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act.
