Canadian rating systems

•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 consid- eration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.

•When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can chose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.
