I seriously wouldn't be surprised to find out that CRTC decision-makers receive some nice, lavish "presents" from Bell, Shaw, Rogers, Telus...
Dump the dinosaur, they are USELESS and in fact WASTE our tax money.

I think the ONLY thing that the CRTC has done well is enforce Canadian Content rules. Whether we ought to have them is an entirely different discussion, of course.
As far as being a regulator, the CRTC has been fail for decades. Perhaps things were different back in the late 60's, but their inability to effectively regulate in the best interests of Canadians has been apparent for a long time.
