Canada Announces $600 Million Investment in Music and Media Amidst Online Streaming Act Controversy

The Canadian government is stepping in to support Canadian music and media amidst debates around the Online Streaming Act.

This morning (June 3), the government announced that it will offer immediate financial support for music, audio and audiovisual media with a $600 million yearly investment.
