Bill C-11 wording could permit CRTC to regulate niche streaming platforms with movies and TV shows from around the world if available in Canada, says professor
The government has not clarified whether the online streaming bill will make BritBox and other platforms featuring foreign content, including Bollywood films, financially contribute to Canada’s creative industries and give prominence to Canadian TV and film.
