A federal bill that will force digital platforms like Netflix and YouTube to contribute financially to Canadian content is on the cusp of becoming law.

It also sets steep penalties for digital platforms that don’t make Canadian content available to their users in Canada. Once the bill receives royal assent, a policy directive will be issued to the CRTC, which is required to develop regulations following consultations with the public. “Today, we are standing up for our stories, our artists, our producers and our creators. We’re standing up so that Canadians have even more opportunities to see themselves in what they watch and listen to,” Rodriguez said Thursday in a written statement.
