Erratum: CMRRA/SOCAN Radio Tariff Citation

Summary#

The Copyright Board issued an erratum on July 5, 2025 correcting how a previous notice was cited in the Canada Gazette. The notice titled CMRRA/SOCAN – Non-Commercial Radio Reproduction Tariff (2020-2023) should show the citation 2025 CB 7-T-2, with a “See also” citation 2025 CB 7. The HTML version was updated to reflect this.

What it does#

• Fixes the citation printed at the start of the notice for CMRRA/SOCAN – Non-Commercial Radio Reproduction Tariff (2020-2023).
• Specifies the corrected citation as 2025 CB 7-T-2.
• Adds the related “See also” citation 2025 CB 7.
• Notes that the original (incorrect) appearance was in Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 159, No. 26 on June 28, 2025.
• Says the online (HTML) version has already been changed.

Who's affected#

• People who cite or search for the tariff decision, such as researchers, librarians, lawyers, or journalists.
• Organizations that track copyright and royalties, including CMRRA and SOCAN.
• The general public and most radio listeners are unlikely to notice any change.

Why it matters#

• Correct citations make it easier to find and reference the official decision in databases and legal documents.
• The correction is a routine housekeeping step to keep the public record accurate. It does not change the content of the tariff itself.
