Few Canadians realize how far reaching Bill C\u002D11 is. The government has given itself the power to regulate what we watch, read or listen to.
In the future, you may be listening to an audiobook and find that you need to consume some Canadian content before moving onto the next book. You could be listening to your music playlist, the one you curated, and start hearing a Canadian artist you didn’t select coming through the speakers.where the stated goal of the bill is laid out: “Add online undertakings — undertakings for the transmission or retransmission of programs over the Internet — as a distinct class of broadcasting undertakings.
None of this is far-fetched, it’s the kind of regulations that exist for traditional broadcasters and now the regulator for those broadcasters, the CRTC, will be in charge of the online world. Industry insiders believe this is an unlikely scenario but the law would allow it and lobbyists for certain parts of the cultural sector may demand it.
While I don’t expect the federal government or CRTC to block access to services, I do expect that the regulations will lead to some services not being offered or launched in Canada. We should also expect that some companies may leave or cut Canadian staff as the cost to comply with the new regulations rises.
