WASHINGTON, May 26, 2026 – The Motion Picture Association is strongly against the Canadian broadcasting regulator’s decision to require large global streaming companies to give more of their Canadian revenue to support Canadian content because it is discriminatory towards American companies.
The new rule from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission would change the rules of the Online Streaming Act, compelling streaming companies like Netflix and Disney to pay fifteen percent of their Canadian revenue. The percentage is up five percent from the initial amount.
The measure would lift state restrictions on international internet access.
