The Online Streaming Act must ensure the diversity of cultural expressions in the broadcasting ecosystem by guarantying a place of choice for the creation, production and broadcasting of national content, including original French-language content, Indigenous content in Canada and content from official language minority communities. The Canadian Broadcasting Policy is essential to fulfill Canada’s commitments under the UNESCO Convention on the protection and promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and to preserve the State’s cultural sovereignty.
