[Canada]
The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.
While violence is the most important content element
to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language,
nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you
can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.
