text: Generally, our spectrum and broadcast licences are granted for a 
  specified term and are subject to conditions for maintaining these 
  licences. The regulators can modify these licensing conditions at any 
  time, and they can decide not to renew a licence when it expires. If we 
  do not comply with the conditions, a licence may be forfeited or 
  revoked, or we may be fined. 
  
  Amendments to the Manitoba Consumer Protection Act took effect in 
  September 2012 and parallel the changes to the Quebec Consumer 
  Protection Act. Similar legislation also came into effect in September 
  2012 in Newfoundland and Labrador and has been tabled in Nova 
  Scotia. A private member’s bill proposing similar legislation has been 
  introduced in New Brunswick. 
  
  The licences have conditions that require us, amongst other things, to 
  the applicable 
  comply with Canadian ownership restrictions of 
  legislation, and we are currently in compliance with them. If we violate 
  the requirements, we would be subject to various penalties and it could 
  include losing a licence in extreme cases. 
  
  In April 2012, the Ontario government announced that it would be 
  introducing legislation addressing wireless bills and contracts. The 
  legislation seeks to ensure that contracts are written in plain language 
  and spell out which services come with the basic fee and which would 
  result in a higher bill. It requires providers to obtain consent in writing 
  before they renew or amend a contract. The legislation also seeks a cap 
  that would vary 
  on the cost of cancelling a fixed-term contract 
  depending on the circumstances of 
  the contract. The proposed 
  legislation, which would affect new contracts, would take effect six 
  months after being passed and would also cover existing agreements 
  that are amended, renewed or extended after that date. The legislation 
  was passed into law in October 2013.
