CAPPRT (The Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal)
Quasi-judicial, independent federal agency which administers the regime of professional relations contained in the Status of the Artist Act.
"The Status of the Artist Act guarantees the right of artists to join associations that can represent their professional interests and the right to bargain collectively with producers for the purpose of reaching agreement on the minimum terms and conditions under which an artist will provide services to those producers. The Act also permits producers to form associations for the purposes of bargaining and entering into scale agreements. By following the procedures specified in the Act, artists' associations may become certified by CAPPRT, granting them the exclusive right to negotiate scale agreements with producers."
