Bill C-11 will create ‘surge’ in Canadian TV shows, say internal government memos
The online streaming bill will lead to an $86-million annual “surge” in new Canadian TV production, and may lead to more TV and film being classified as official Canadian content, internal Heritage Department documents predict.
The papers, obtained by University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist under access-to-information laws, also reveal that YouTube is the only social-media platform likely to come within the scope of bill C-11, which will modernize broadcasting laws to cover streaming platforms.
No one watches CanCon now, are they suggesting they’ll force us to because everything else will be blacked out?
