OTTAWA — Ottawa says it will direct the CRTC to review its recent decision tripling streamers’ financial contributions to Canadian content.
The government says Ottawa will issue a new policy direction to the CRTC to adjust how it is implementing the Online Streaming Act.
The CRTC said in May it would require large streaming services like Netflix to contribute 15 per cent of their Canadian revenues to Canadian content.
The government says it will instead provide $600 million to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors.
