A Liberal MP says the federal government is “just shy of the finish line” in passing legislation that will regulate the content Canadians can view online by requiring major online streaming platforms to contribute to Canadian content rules.

Speaking to MPs in the House on March 8, Liberal MP Chris Bittle, who is also the parliamentary secretary to Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, said the government is very close to passing Bill C-11 into Canadian law.
