The Globe and Mail spoke with six artists and creators whose work could be affected by Bill C-11. Next, the CRTC will begin interpreting the new law
have argued that the legislation’s language opens up the floodgates for algorithmic manipulation – a level of interference they insist would be no less than full-on government censorship.
The legislation has managed to infuriate many of the people whose work it is supposed to protect in different ways. It may spread more chaos than Canadian stories. Bussières is a spokesperson for Regroupement des artisans de la musique, which advocates for more equitable treatment of musicians in the digital economy. Broadcasting regulations have long ensured Quebeckers heard Quebec music wherever possible, bolstering that province’s artists, but today’s free market of streaming has made it much harder for Québécois musicians and storytellers.
The greater adoption of our music by our citizens, the more we can generate streams, the more we can generate further exposure through recommendations through algorithms because the more you’re played, and the more yoube played. And then the more you get exposure on these platforms, the more you have chance to sell tickets.
Canada makes up less than 3 per cent of our views. Digital distribution is a global activity. It’s export, not import. Not to be dramatic, but the bill actually has an impact on anyone in the world producing content. Just like we’re working to get into the U.S. market, other content creators are working to get into the U.S. and the Canadian market. It’s the open internet. When you have a situation where content is being artificially promoted, something else is being artificially demoted.
Current broadcast regulations have strict criteria for what defines a film or TV show as Canadian, including rules around producers, financing and the amount of work performed by Canadians. Healy is a member of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 212, whose broader unionEven 20 years ago, when a production would come to town anywhere in Canada, half of them didn’t even look at our local people. They just brought their own people with them.
As an actor, as a comedian, as a writer, I think that what they’re doing with Bill C-11 for that side of the industry is years overdue. I strongly believe that Netflix and Apple and all of the streamers should be held accountable the same way CTV, CBC and everybody else is. But for user-generated content – that just weirds me out, man. It’s just too open to interpretation for abuse. You’re putting it in the hands of the CRTC, which I have a lot of opinions about.
