The National Post reports in its Thursday edition that without the government taking steps to ensure Canadian broadcasters can buy popular foreign TV content, the Canadian broadcasting system will not survive, Bell told the Liberal government in March. The Post's Anja Karadeglija writes that Bell's ask comes as U.S. companies that make TV shows or have rights to sports content are choosing to offer streaming services in Canada themselves, bypassing the Canadian TV broadcasters. The government's policy direction to the CRTC on implementing the Online Streaming Act "must be amended to contain measures to ensure that foreign content owners continue to make their content available to Canadian broadcasters and streamers," Bell said in a letter to Canadian Heritage. The letter was among documents obtained through access-to-information, which also included a mostly redacted December, 2022, presentation prepared by Bell. It said the success of the Canadian broadcasting system was heavily dependent on regulation, and that "system was built based on rules that ensure Canadian broadcasters can access and monetize popular U.S. shows," which in turn enable Canadian broadcasters to invest in Canadian content and news, Bell said.
