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

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. The regulator also wants input on questions including whether artificial intelligence-created video can be considered Cancon.
Shortliffe said that includes questions about whether AI can be considered Canadian content, and if so, under what circumstances. The consultation launched Friday applies to video content like television, not radio and streaming audio.
