1) in what context was the crtc and its CanCom regulations established? Describe the rationale for thw creation of the crtc.

I don't understand what it means by 'in what context' and how the two parts are different from one another and how to answer them differently.

In what context means what was happening that influenced these regulations.

When a question asks for the "context" of something, it is referring to the circumstances or background in which it occurred. In this case, you need to provide the context in which the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and its CanCom regulations were established.

To answer the first part of the question, you would describe the specific context in which the CRTC and CanCom regulations were established. This could include the time period, political climate, technological advancements, or any other relevant factors that influenced their creation. For example, you might mention that the CRTC was established in 1968, during a period of rapid growth in the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in Canada, with the aim of regulating these sectors to ensure they serve the public interest.

For the second part of the question, you would explain the rationale or reasons behind the creation of the CRTC. Here, you would focus on explaining the objectives or goals that led to the establishment of the CRTC. Some possible rationale for the creation of the CRTC could include protecting Canadian culture, ensuring fair competition, promoting access to affordable and high-quality telecommunications services, and providing a platform for public input and consultation on broadcasting and telecommunications issues.

By addressing the "context" and "rationale" separately, you are essentially being asked to provide a background or historical context for the creation of the CRTC, and then explain the reasons or motivations behind it.
