C-11 will make online-streaming services such as Netflix and Spotify promote and financially support Canadian music, film and TV, alongside traditional broadcasters
The bill was debated on the floor of the House of Commons and the Senate and studied in the Commons heritage committee, which spent months examining the bill line by line and hearing from a string of interested parties.
