Quebecor Inc. CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau told MPs at a Friday meeting of the House of Commons Heritage committee that the government initiative to overhaul the Broadcasting Act, known as Bill C-10, should focus more on deregulating existing traditional Canadian media. "For traditional broadcasters -- those that showcase our Quebec and francophone culture and the resulting economic benefits -- the bill imposes new regulatory restrictions that will not redress the unfair conditions they have been coping with for years," Péladeau said according to a simultaneous translation, "and will only pull them even deeper into the financial abyss and a Kafkaesque universe of financial regulation." Under the government's proposed legislation, foreign streaming platforms like Netflix, Inc. would...
