Canadian content (CanCon, cancon or can-con) refers to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) requirements, derived from the Broadcasting Act of Canada, that radio and television broadcasters (including cable and satellite specialty channels) must air a certain percentage of content that was at least partly written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada. It also refers to that content itself, and, more generally, to cultural and creative content that is Canadian in nature. The loss of the protective Canadian content quota requirements is one of the concerns of those opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Canada entered into Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multilateral free trade agreement in October 2012.〔〔 By August 2013 there were 12 countries participating in the TPP negotiating trade that "would involve more than 38% of the world’s economy". ==Origins== The CRTC, originally established in 1968, is charged with enforcing the Broadcasting Act of Canada. The Broadcast Act declares: * Each element of the Canadian broadcasting system shall contribute in an appropriate manner to the creation and presentation of Canadian programming; * Each broadcasting undertaking shall make maximum use, and in no case less than predominant use, of Canadian creative and other resources in the creation and presentation of programming It is from these requirements, set down in Section 3 of the Broadcasting Act, that obligates the CRTC enforce Canadian content requirements. Other countries employ similar quota systems. Australian broadcasters are required to broadcast a certain percentage of Australasian content. Similar domestic content quota laws also exist in the Philippines, Mexico, Nigeria, Israel, South Africa, Jamaica, Venezuela, Russia, and New Zealand. Quotas also apply in the United Kingdom, and France (which now have a European Union content rules rather than domestic ones.) The United States does not restrict foreign content broadcasting given U.S. media's domestic and global strength, but broadcasting companies do limit foreign content.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian content」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
