"Since the inception of cable and satellite service, local television 
signals have been accessible to cable and satellite companies free of 
charge. Yet over the last five years, your basic cable bill has gone up 
more than four times the cost of living."


Comment:

The CRTC can rule that cable companies must pay local TV to carry their 
signals, but also rule that cable companies **may not** raise their fees 
for basic cable.

This is why the cable companies are fighting so hard. And lying by 
calling this proposal a "tax".

The CRTC can say that the pie is not getting any bigger, but the cable 
companies piece of it will be  a little smaller.
