Quebec to Impose Quotas For French-Language Content On Streaming Platforms

Bill 109 could impose big changes for streaming services to improve the discoverability of French-language content in Quebec.

Quebec may soon be getting stricter language regulations on streaming services.

Quebec Culture Minister Mathieu Lacombe tabled a new bill on Wednesday (May 21) that aims to add more French-language content to major streaming platforms, as well as increasing its discoverability and accessibility by establishing quotas. The bill will directly impact platforms that offer media content such as music, TV, video and audiobooks, including giants like Netflix and Spotify.
