CRTC launches public consultation to review what is Canadian content

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Nov, 2024 02:10 PM
  • CRTC launches public consultation to review what is Canadian content

The CRTC is looking at how to redefine Canadian content, launching a new consultation with plans to hold a public hearing in the spring.

That includes asking questions about whether artificial intelligence-created video can be considered Cancon.

The consultation is part of the CRTC's implementation of the Online Streaming Act, which updated broadcasting laws to capture online platforms.

Part of that effort involves looking to ensure Canadian content is visible and easily discoverable on streaming services.

Scott Shortliffe, the commission's executive director of broadcasting, says the CRTC hopes to get robust public participation on the new definition of Canadian content. 

Global streaming services such as Netflix and Disney Plus are fighting an earlier directive the CRTC made under the Online Streaming Act requiring them to contribute money to Canada's broadcast sector.

B.C. court rejects attempt to stop thousands of trees from being cut in Stanley Park
The B.C. Supreme Court will not grant an injunction to stop tree removal in Vancouver's Stanley Park after a group claimed the work was doing more harm than good.  The court ruled this week that the challenge raised "novel" issues about whether park users were owed a duty of care by the city and park board, but it would be "unlikely" that a trial would establish such a duty.
