, Minister of Canadian Heritage, tabled the bill yesterday. It establishes a new class of players called “online undertakings” including U.S.-based streaming platforms operating in the country that would be required to contribute to the local industry alongside Canadian broadcasters, which are already required to do so under current broadcast law.
“We all have a role to play in supporting the future of film and television created in Canada. We are reviewing the legislation and remain committed to being a good partner to Canada’s creative community while also investing in local economies.” “We’re not asking these companies to do things they’re not already doing,” Guilbeault told the CBC. “They are investing in Canada. What we’re doing is putting a regulatory framework on how those investments should be made in light of things we’re already asking from Canadian broadcasters.”
Good idea
