Published CRTC framework for negotiations between Canadian news publishers and online platforms

On 24 August 2023, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) released its plan for establishing a framework to facilitate fair negotiations between news organisations in Canada and the largest online platforms. This framework is a part of implementing Canada's Online News Act, for which the CRTC has been assigned the task of finalising rules and serving as the overseeing authority for negotiations between Canadian news publishers and online platforms.
