At last! A new Canadian telecommunications act
Despite profound changes in regulatory jurisdiction over telecommunications, in industry structure and in the basis on which service is provided, there has until very recently been no change in governing legislation in Canada, which dated back to the turn of the century. This article seeks to explain why the legislature, even in a parliamentary system of government, lagged behind the courts, the regulators and the carriers in bringing about industry reorganization. It then examines a number of the more significant provisions of the new legislation, which was eventually passed in June 1993, and concludes with some general observations on the role of legislation in industry liberalization.
