[Canada]
The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.
It will wake up “Canada rating list”. The list has two
rating settings for Can.English ratings and Can.
French ratings.
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.
