If DNCL legislation is violated, which of the following can the CRTC do?

• A. The CRTC may issue a monetary penalty
• B. The CRTC may meet with the offending organization
• C. The CRTC may issue a warning
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Enforcement actions under the DNCL rules use a range of tools to address violations. The CRTC can impose monetary penalties to deter breaches and to sanction non-compliance, especially for repeated or serious offences. It can also arrange a meeting with the offending organization to discuss the breach, review what happened, and lay out steps to come into compliance. Additionally, the CRTC can issue a warning to notify the organization of the improper conduct and to signal that further violations could lead to stronger penalties. Because the regulator has these multiple options at its disposal, it can employ any combination as needed, which is why all the listed actions are possible responses to a DNCL violation.
