Video classification strickening postponed A postponement of Ontario's video classification stickering program was an- nounced recently by the Ministty of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations. "Due to a number of production and technical problems with the stickers, as well as, application difficulties encountered by the industry, we are announcing a delay in the stickering program", said Jan Rush, Executive Director, Business Practices Division. "In consultation with representatives from all sectors of the industry, the ministry will•be hiring a consultant to review the im- plementation program," Rush said. "Until such time as the consultant reports back to us, the stickering process is now on hold," she said. She added that the sale of classification stickers to the video industry for application to cassettes has been temporarily suspend- ed, pending production quality control checks. "In view of the problems encountered with the stickers and in fairness to the in- dustry and the integrity of the program, we decided to call a temporary halt to the stickering",, Rush said. She said the moratorium would afford studios additional time to clear outstanding titles for classification and approval. In the meantime, the Theatres Branch will pro- duce an up-to-date catalogue for use by video retailers in classifying their existing stock. Although the ministry is calling a moratorium on the stickering, Ontario's commitment to the work of the Ontario Film Review Board remains in place. The consultant's report is expected to be completed in a few weeks. Ontario families can participatein exchange recently. It is also a unique occasion to develop a lasting friendship. It is not necessary to have children to be able to host. However, it is important to be open, generous, understanding and to know how to include the student as a true member of the family.
