Ottawa won’t clarify stance on possibility of future streamer payments for CanCon
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said imposing a tax on big technology companies is unnecessary, but his office did not clarify whether streamer payments for Canadian content remain possible.
- Carney made the comments in Montreal while answering a question about a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission requirement for streamers to contribute revenue to Canadian content.
- The Liberals proposed replacing the contribution policy with $600 million in annual government funding, but the federal budget allocated that amount only for the current fiscal year.
- A government spokesperson said future funding could change because the regulator may still require streamers to contribute, while Culture Minister Marc Miller said streamers must invest in Canadian content.
