CASL enforcement: Recent trend
It can be relatively difficult to read the tea leaves in the CRTC’s approach to CASL enforcement, because there is little public record of those enforcement activities. This was noted by the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, in its statutory review of the Act. However, what signs do exist suggest that enforcement activities are accelerating. In 2016 and 2017, the CRTC announced only one undertaking in a CASL proceeding. By contrast, in the first quarter of 2018, there have already been two.
