The Quebec government has tabled a bill to force streaming giants such as Netflix and Spotify to boost access to French-language content.

The bill would allow the government to set quotas for francophone music, films and television series on streaming platforms. It would also require platforms to ensure francophone content is more prominent and easier for consumers to find.
