When/ if this comes up for review; what we need to do is oppose it. ~5 years ago many of us (Oilkiller included) blocked Global's application to have Spike TV removed. (Spike was around due to the previous application as "The Nashville Network", and Global said their new programming would hurt their "Men TV" subsciptions.)

Allegedly (I can't get it to work right now) you can hear a stream of the hearing here:
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/streaming/stream1-eng.htm
Here is the agenda for these hearings:

A list of supporting documents is here:

The relevant CTV materials mentioning the deletion rules are here:

Specifically, with respect to the deletion rules, see page 25 of the second Commentaire/Comment.pdf document listed in the above link and page 6 of Annexe A/Appendix A. pdf.

In the past, this section has allowed BDUs to delete programming on a foreign specialty service for which the exclusive Canadian rights are held by a Canadian specialty service.
Ensuring the integrity of their territorial programming rights is increasingly becoming one of the most critical issues for broadcasters. CTVgm believes it is essential that the Commission introduce measures to allow broadcasters to realize maximum value for their programming, both from advertisers and distributors. In CTVgm’s view this entails harmonizing the rules relating to simultaneous substitution and program deletion that apply to over-the-air television and specialty services by:
1. Extending simultaneous substitution rights to specialty services;
2. Allowing over-the-air television licensees to enforce non-simultaneous program deletion; and
3. Allowing over-the-air television licensees to enforce program deletion as part
of the NFV framework outlined above.
