"The new definition maintains the same approach as the previous one by using a points system to determine whether something is Cancon based on the number of Canadians occupying key creative positions in a production. The modernized definition expands the list of positions that count toward the total to include jobs like showrunner, special effects director and head of costuming. The CRTC says those roles should be staffed by humans, not AI."
""While AI may serve as a potential tool to assist in the creation of Canadian content, the Commission is of the view that humans should hold creative control to support economic opportunities and remuneration for Canadians creators," the new regulations read. The new definition allows productions to earn bonus points for cultural elements identifiable Canadian characters or settings, for example, or stories based on Canadian publications."
""What we're trying to do in this definition is broaden it so that more productions can be certified as Canadian," said Scott Shortliffe, the CRTC's vice-president of broadcasting. "Long-term, what we hope that will do is it will spur more collaborations, more money going into Canadian productions that will lead to more better-financed, high-level, glossy Canadian productions, as well as ensuring that you continue to get small point-of-view films and documentaries and television series.""
The CRTC released a modernized definition of Canadian content that retains a points-based system determining Cancon by Canadians occupying key creative positions. The updated list adds roles such as showrunner, special effects director and head of costuming, and specifies those roles must be staffed by humans rather than AI. The regulations state AI may assist but humans must hold creative control to protect economic opportunities and remuneration for Canadian creators. Productions can earn bonus points for identifiable Canadian cultural elements, such as characters, settings or stories based on Canadian publications. The definition applies to traditional media and online streaming platforms as part of implementing the Online Streaming Act.
