Does the Régie du cinéma classify television programs?
No. Television is a federal responsibility. As a Québec Government agency, the Régie du cinéma has no authority to classify television programs, whether original television programs or films broadcast on television. Note: French television broadcasters in Québec have agreed to classify films using age-category icons similar to those used by the Régie. However, broadcasters have full responsibility regarding the classification they provide, and are under no obligation to use the same classification as that assigned by the Régie. Note: When television programs are marketed on video or DVD after their initial broadcast, they are considered as “films”, and will then be classified by the Régie.
