Returning guest Monica Auer, Executive Director of the Forum for Research and Policy in Communications (FRPC) discusses the shortcomings of present CRTC practice through the lens of the major efforts to amend and implement the Online Streaming Act (which amends the Broadcasting Act) in an effort supposedly to increase the amount and quality of Canadian content (CanCon).
