Online streaming bill aims to force platforms such as Netflix, YouTube and TikTok to contribute to and promote Canadian content
OTTAWA — Canadians who make content online are to be excluded from future regulations that the Liberal government is imposing on digital giants, a new draft policy shows.
For example, a person who records a makeup tutorial or dance trend while with a Harry Styles song in the background would not fall under the regulations. For example, a television show can appear both on Netflix and on cable, and a live sports game could stream on social media platforms, TV and radio.
The draft policy said people who make local podcasts or stream video games online will also be excluded from the bill's regulations, which are set to take shape over the summer before a final policy directive is released in the fall. Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, who sponsored the bill, has said the law is intended to help highlight local stories and music on streaming platforms, many of which are based in the United States.
