The Federal Court of Appeal says big streaming companies won’t have to pay for Canadian content until the court hears their appeal of a CRTC decision ordering them to pay.

In June, the CRTC said that foreign streamers must contribute five percent of their annual Canadian revenues to a fund devoted to producing Canadian content, including local TV and radio news.
