• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the |
Canadian |
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. |
G: General: All ages and children, contains minimal |
direct violence, but may be integrated into the plot |
in a humorous or unrealistic manner. |
8ans+: General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and real situations.
