CRTC mandates diversity data collection from major streaming services in Canada

Canada's CRTC now requires major streaming services like Netflix and Amazon to collect diversity data on key creative personnel. This mandate, part of the Online Streaming Act, aims to ensure the broadcasting system reflects Canada's diverse population, including racialized people, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, and women. The CRTC views this data collection as a success from existing broadcaster requirements and is developing a broader diversity framework for the industry.
