Ottawa-Gatineau-Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
Today, the CRTC is taking another step forward to implement the modernized Broadcasting Act (the Act) by launching a public consultation on the definition of Canadian content for audio services.
The Act requires the CRTC to modernize Canada's broadcasting framework and ensure that online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.
Following this consultation, the CRTC will update the definition of Canadian content for audio services. The definition is used to help ensure that content such as music is made, shared, and discovered on all platforms.
The CRTC is accepting comments until April 7, 2025. Interested persons can participate by:
- filling out the online form;
- writing to the Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2; or
- sending a fax to 819-994-0218.
As part of this consultation, the CRTC plans to hold a public hearing starting on June 18, 2025.
All comments will form part of the public record and will inform the CRTC's decision.
