The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has announced a one-year delay in implementing the Online Streaming Act, according to a new regulatory plan. The Globe's Marie Woolf writes that consultations will continue into 2026, with the target launch for implementing the new regulatory framework postponed until late 2025. This delay has disappointed industry experts who are questioning the reasons behind the extension of the original timetable. Forum for Research and Policy in Communications director Monica Auer expressed concern, stating that the CRTC had previously committed to implementing new broadcasting legislation by the end of the current year. The Online Streaming Act aims to require platforms like Netflix, Amazon and Spotify to promote Canadian TV, film, or music and financially contribute to their production alongside traditional broadcasters. The CRTC's plan indicates that the implementation of the new regulatory framework will begin in late 2025, at which point it will determine the financial obligations of on-line streaming services and traditional broadcasters to support the creation of Canadian and indigenous content.
