He said “it will be important that these privacy applications be fully assessed and mitigated prior to the CRTC imposing these conditions.”The Online Streaming Act sets up the CRTC to regulate online platforms like Netflix, but has been dogged by concerns over giving CRTC regulatory authority over user content. Senators on the transport committee will be studying the bill this fall, and have predicted amendments to the legislation are likely.
Hatfield said “it really speaks to the impoverished vision this bill has of what the market for Canadian cultural content is. This vision that only people within Canada could possibly be interested in in what we’re doing. And we have to fight so hard to preserve that little bubble.” “Given that the government is touting $1 billion in required contributions from foreign platforms, the majority of which of course are U.S. based, how do the witnesses view their risk of retaliation?” Housakos asked.
Smith also said there has been “engagement between Canada and U.S. officials on this matter” and that the U.S. has mostly been looking for information on the legislative process and for clarity on the intention of bill.Article content
