USA HAS TRADE CONCERNS OVER ONLINE STREAMING BILL

Washington has raised concerns about the trade implications of Ottawa's online-streaming bill, prompting a legal expert to warn that Canada could face hundreds of millions of dollars of retaliatory tariffs if it becomes law. 

The online-streaming bill, which has passed the House of Commons and is now in the Senate, would force American-owned platforms, including YouTube, Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video, to promote Canadian TV, movies, videos or music, and help fund Canadian content. 

 Ottawa’s public record of the meeting on July 8 with Ng did not mention that her American counterpart raised concerns about the bill
