As content creators await the passing of Bill C-11, some say it’s still too ambiguous

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s online streaming bill is likely weeks away from becoming law as it awaits a final vote in the Senate. 

But some content creators who will be impacted by the changes say the proposed law is still too ambiguous. 

Nathan Kennedy, a content creator from Hamilton, has made a career out of teaching people about personal finances online.

The online streaming act will require big streaming companies — such as YouTube, Netflix and Spotify — to contribute to and promote Canadian content. 

Kennedy worries that new discoverability requirements will affect the way he makes money.
