The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that side deals under Canada's newest trade agreement leave the door open for the government to regulate foreign video services such as Netflix, although the current Liberal government has shown little appetite for such measures. The Post's Emily Jackson writes that the Canada signed bilateral agreements on culture with every country participating in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which was signed by 11 member countries in Chile on Thursday. The side letters, released Thursday, exempt Canada from a clause in official text that prohibits discriminatory rules on foreign audio-video services. Instead, the letters stipulate that Canada "may adopt or maintain discriminatory requirements on service suppliers or investors to make financial contributions for Canadian content development and may adopt or maintain measures that restrict access to online foreign audio-visual content." Legal experts say that could give Canada the power to require foreign players to contribute to Canadian content production. Many industry players are calling on the federal broadcast regulator to regulate on-line streaming services.
