source: Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) -> target: Streaming services and broadcasters
On 2026-05-21, Canada's broadcast regulator CRTC set a 15% contribution requirement for large online streaming services' Canadian revenues to support Canadian content. The rule triples the regulator's earlier 5% requirement and is being challenged in court by U.S.-based streamers. The CRTC said the policy is part of implementing the Online Streaming Act.
