The situation is unclear, and that worries me.
The bill, through ministerial instructions, gives many options to the CRTC, which could regulate broadcasters in the circumstances it deems appropriate, which are not clearly defined.
We believe it is important to create clear guidelines on income generated in Canada, on users and on the funding of global original content, among others, such that the Parliament of Canada would take business size into account.
