Criticism
Critics of the bill argue that it could stifle innovation and competition in the streaming industry, and that it could lead to higher prices for consumers. Some also argue that the bill could infringe on the freedom of expression of streaming services and their users.
Additionally, it has been criticized for not addressing issues related to online piracy, and for not providing more funding for the creation of Canadian content.
