EXPANDED BASIC SERVICE [2 records]

Record 1 2004-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rights and Freedoms
  • Health Law
  • Family Law (common law)
  • Social Law
CONT

Canada’s Constitution includes a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that guarantees every Canadian security of the person. People who live in poverty do not have security of the person. If they live in hunger, their health and their lives are at risk. If they are homeless, they do not have physical or mental security.

CONT

Because of the dependence of individuals upon health care services, the legislators have the obligation to ensure that essential needs will be met, especially if an individual is unable to secure the service himself. This obligation has devolved to professionals who willingly undertake to provide treatment... Thus, the Criminal Code has traditionally required persons to provide treatment if they have undertaken to do so or if they are responsible for disabled persons. These obligations should be maintained and expanded, if necessary, to guarantee all Canadians a basic security of the person.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droits et libertés
  • Droit de la santé
  • Droit de la famille (common law)
  • Droit social
CONT

La notion de sécurité de la personne comprend l'autonomie personnelle, du moins en ce qui a trait au droit de faire des choix concernant sa propre personne, le contrôle de son intégrité physique et mentale, et la dignité humaine fondamentale.

CONT

La «sécurité de sa personne» de l'article 7 [de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés] s'étend à la protection contre le prélèvement de substances faisant partie du corps humain. Elle fonde aussi le droit de s'attendre à ce que de tels prélèvements soient traités confidentiellement par les professionnels de la santé.

DEF

Refers to services offered in addition to the basic service package, in unscrambled form and on a discretionary basis, often using the "negative option" marketing technique - licensee delivers the basic service and discretionary tier(s) to subscriber’s premise in non-encrypted form as a package deal, and the onus is on the subscriber to advise the licensee should he/she not wish to take the discretionary tier(s). Should the subscriber opt out of the discretionary tier(s), the licensee blocks (traps out) only the discretionary signals (usually located on 8 consecutive channels in the mid-band) to that household through a trapping device (a negative trap) located outside the subscriber’s household, thus requiring a "truck roll". This encryption system is beneficial to a cable licensee only if there is a high penetration in discretionary service subscription.

DEF

Se dit des services offerts en sus du service de base, en clair et de façon facultative, souvent employant la technique de marketing «abonnement par défaut» - le titulaire livre en clair, et en un bloc, le service de base ainsi qu'un volet facultatif à l'abonné, laissant la responsabilité à ce dernier de l'aviser s'il ne veut pas le volet facultatif. Si l'abonné décide de ne pas prendre le volet facultatif, le titulaire filtrera (bloquera), à l'entrée du domicile dudit abonné, seulement les signaux facultatifs (offerts normalement sur 8 canaux consécutifs de la bande moyenne), à l'aide d'un interrupteur (un filtre négatif) situé à l'extérieur du domicile de l'abonné, nécessitant la visite d'un technicien. Ce système d'encodage est avantageux seulement pour les systèmes ayant une forte pénétration d'abonnements aux services facultatifs.
