OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Canada’s federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is looking to have the nation’s broadcasting regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), enforce upon all broadcasters woke and pro-LGBT “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion” (EDI) requirements.
A June 10 order from the Department of Canadian Heritage notes that the government is looking to impose as part of its Sustainable and Equitable Broadcasting Regulatory Framework new “binding” woke mandates of “inclusion” and “diversity.”
“The Government is proposing to issue policy directions to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the Commission) under section 7 of the Broadcasting Act. The proposed directions would give binding, high-level direction to the Commission as it engages Canadians and all interested parties to design and implement a new regulatory framework through an open, public dialogue,” the order reads.
The government notes that the “key elements” from its order include “supporting greater inclusion of equity-seeking groups in the broadcasting system” along with “redefining Canadian programs.”
