OTTAWA — Justin Bieber may be one of the top-selling musicians of all time, with a clutch of Grammy Awards and Junos to his name.
The bill aims to update the Broadcasting Act to bring streaming platforms under the same rules as traditional broadcasters, including requiring them to promote Canadian content.According to the current rules, a song must meet two of the following criteria to be counted as Canadian: being written entirely by a Canadian; performed principally by a Canadian; be broadcast or performed live in Canada; or have lyrics written entirely by a Canadian.
"Under current Canadian content definitions, many songs that we know and love from Canadian artists would not be classed as Canadian." The platform says it currently uses a range of data sources to determine if a song is Canadian, including self-reporting by the artist.
