We discuss the scope and definition of "broadcasting" under the Broadcasting Act and former Bill C-10, which the re-elected minority government has vowed to move through Parliament in the first 100 days post-election. Also discussed are the limits of CRTC discretion and ability to police the vast new powers delegated to the CRTC to try to control not only traditional broadcasting but now also online platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch, Netflix, Crave, Disney+ and Apple+, etc. in Canada.
We eventually consider what makes Canadian content and how one might try to enforce cultural policy on the new platforms.
We invite everyone to listen to the lawyers let loose on this proposed legislation and how to improve it.
