The Premier Doug Ford government’s proposed Film Content Information Act would pass the burden of age-appropriate labels to the industry

Instead, the burden of informing audiences about such content as violence, nudity, coarse language and substance use now falls to the industry.The Film Content Information Act will not, however, change the guidelines for rating adult sex films or video games, which must still be reviewed “by an entity that is authorized to approve” such material in Canada.

The agency supported itself by relying on film-licensing fees, in which businesses distributing or exhibiting a film in Ontario were required to pay for one of seven classes of licences, and film-classification fees, which were required to distribute and exhibit a film in the province. Costs for the latter service ranged from $4.20 a minute for non-Canadian, English-language films to a flat fee of $80 for foreign-language films.

Canada is one of the few major countries in the world lacking a national film classification system. Instead, there are different systems in place for different jurisdictions, with film distributors having to pay classification fees to each. This is slowly changing, though, with British Columbia providing film-classification services for Manitoba since 2018, and Saskatchewan since 2007.
