Entrepreneur Yanik Guillemette has voiced strong criticism against Canada's increasingly dense digital regulatory framework. He specifically highlighted the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) proposal to impose a 15% revenue contribution requirement on streaming platforms. Guillemette argues that cumulative regulations, including Bills C-11, C-18, and C-22, are significantly increasing operating costs for tech companies. This regulatory environment, he contends, is stifling innovation, discouraging investment, and ultimately driving tech talent and companies out of Canada, potentially harming the country's digital economy.
