In the news today: Revamping Canadian broadcasting, B.C. Tory leaders, 'Go Habs Go!'

Vicky Eatrides says the regulator is moving quickly on key rules as critics blame delays for programming cuts.

  • On Friday, CRTC chairperson Vicky Eatrides defended the agency's progress on implementing the Online Streaming Act, acknowledging a desire to modernize Canada's broadcasting system despite facing criticism for the current pace.
  • Critics have accused the regulator of taking too long to complete work on the Online Streaming Act, a delay CPAC cited on Tuesday as a factor in its decision to cut two flagship news programs.
  • Eatrides noted that implementing new rules is complex work, requiring the CRTC to consider many conflicting opinions from stakeholders across the broadcasting sector.
  • The regulator has prioritized moving quickly on specific issues, including establishing initial financial contribution requirements for streaming services operating within Canada.
