Canada’s federal broadcast regulator said it’s raising the minimum contribution for all online streaming companies toward a fund for the creation of Canadian content, if they make at least $25 million in Canadian revenue. The move triples the five per cent base, set in 2024, to 15 per cent, and has already caught the attention of U.S. streaming companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, as well as some U.S. lawmakers. #CanCon #TV #CdnPoli #streaming »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbcnews Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Subscribe to CBC News on WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6MSjH9Bb63S9tbQa1Y Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News
