New fee for streaming companies serves Canadian interests at Americans' expense: U.S.

OTTAWA — American streaming companies are being unfairly targeted by a new Canadian fee that "disproportionately" serves interests north of the border, the United States is charging.

Parliamentarians on a House of Commons trade committee were expected to hear concerns over Canada's latest move on Thursday.
