Bill C-11: What's at Stake for the Cultural Community in Saskatchewan?

On February 2, the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Pablo Rodriguez, introduced Bill C-11 to modernize the Broadcasting Act. With C-11, Canada's ambition is to subject large online broadcasting companies to the same requirements for funding and showcasing local and national cultural expressions as traditional broadcasters.

What are the issues underlying this bill? Why is it essential for the cultural community? How can it help our artists, creators and cultural professionals?

The CDCE and Saskatchewan Arts Alliance invite the entire Saskatchewan cultural community - artists, creators, producers, distributors, broadcasters and publishers in the book, film, television, music, performing and visual arts sectors, public and private sector cultural professionals, and civil society organizations - to attend a regional meeting on Bill C-11.
