Yes, at the time, the committee blocked the regulation change because the government was in a minority situation. Now, we are in a majority so if the PM wanted to change the law, it would be changed. |

The article you quote is out of date and is invalidated by two very important points: 1) US Fox News is broadcast in Canada and has been since the early 2000's (6 or 7 years before that article was published) |

2) SunTV is also being broadcast in Canada currently and it is the hypothetical station that was being discussed at the time that article came out. Subsequent to that article, it passed the regulations as is and it's currently on the air. There are active disputes between individual hosts on that channel and the CRTC to do with on-air conduct that will, I believe, ultimately lead to a court challenge that will strike down the regulation in question, if the majority government doesn't get to them first. |
Second, if you're referring to the faked Citizenship oath broadcast, I sincerely doubt that any court challenge to arise from that debacle will ultimately result in the rescinding of sections that forbid misrepresentation.
