''Capital Cities Communications v. CRTC'' (1977), () 2 S.C.R. 141 is a Supreme Court of Canada decision on the legislative jurisdiction of cable television. Chief Justice Laskin, writing for the majority of the Court, held that all television, even where exclusively produced and distributed within the province, fell within the definition of a federal undertaking under section 92(10)(a) of the ''Constitution Act, 1867''. Rogers Cable provided a subscription service for American television programs. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), a federal regulatory agency, required television broadcasters such as Rogers to remove the commercials from American television feeds and replace them with Canadian ads. The issue before the Court was whether the federal government had legislative jurisdiction over the content of cable television. Laskin held that both cable and broadcast television were both within the jurisdiction of the federal government. This decision was released along with the accompanying case ''Dionne v. Quebec (Public Service Board)'' () 2 S.C.R. 191. ==See also== * List of Supreme Court of Canada cases (Laskin Court) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capital Cities Communications Inc v Canadian Radio-Television Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
