The CRTC is the governing body for what is allowed to get on Canadian TV. This "TBC" is an organization that seems to include most of the stations, with the notable exception of the largest (the CBC), as well as a number of advertising sales agencies.
The TBC includes a committee that clears PSAs used by the non-CBC stations. Acceptance of this committee's recommendations are voluntary.
I feel a whole lot better.
