The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has released its plan to implement the Online News Act and create a bargaining framework for negotiations between Canadian news organizations and the largest social media platforms.

“The CRTC will oversee the mandatory bargaining process once it is in place. The CRTC will launch a public consultation to gather the views of Canadians and interested parties,” the commission announced on its website on Aug. 24.
