Modernization of Canada’s broadcasting framework

High-quality Canadian content includes news, dramas, comedies, documentaries and other types of programming, including French-language programming. The consultations under this theme focus on ensuring that Canadians can easily find, watch, and listen to diverse Canadian and Indigenous content. Consultations will also focus on improving access to Canadian stories and voices across traditional and online platforms.

A sustainable broadcasting system is financially resilient and capable of adapting to technological advancements and changing market dynamics. A system in which broadcasters contribute to the broadcasting system in the most effective and appropriate way. And a system that ensures continued support for Canadian and Indigenous programming, while promoting fair competition, diversity and innovation.

Clear and predictable rules establish a transparent framework for traditional and online platforms, ensuring fairness and consistency in the regulatory environment. Clear and predictable rules will facilitate informed decision-making, promote compliance, and help all stakeholders understand their rights and responsibilities within the broadcasting system.
