Best Case Scenario: Canadian Industry Perspectives

As regulatory decisions begin to roll out following the passing of the Online Streaming Act, the Canadian film and TV sector hangs in the balance. How will the new funding system work? Can we find equilibrium between promoting Canadian culture and maintaining a competitive market environment? While the CRTC moves forward on its consultation process -- ranging from the definition of Canadian content to Indigenous broadcasting policy to matters of public interest and how small, medium and large players should work together -- this senior industry panel representing multiple perspectives will discuss where things stand, what recent decisions mean for the industry, and the way forward.
