The last of our recommendations is to investigate the revenue models to support Canadian cultural digital strategy that would enable creation, dissemination, and engagement of cultural content online.
We are concerned about the decrease in the use of traditional broadcasting and the reliance on cultural content through Internet service providers. The problem is that the regulations for Canadian content and for the contributions for the creation of Canadian content come from those traditional broadcasters. On the other hand, we have Netflix and other Internet-based providers that are not subject to any Canadian content regulations and contributions. We'd like to see this reviewed by a House of Commons committee so we can investigate new revenue models and have a more competitive and reliant industry.
Thank you.
