In this study, the Committee takes a somewhat different approach than with previous reports on this issue in that implications of foreign ownership restrictions are examined through three lenses: economic considerations, social and equity dimensions, and Canada’s cultural sovereignty. Consequently, this report is structured accordingly. The first section provides a background on foreign ownership restrictions and presents a brief overview of the Globalive case. The following three sections examine respectively the economic, social and culture dimensions of foreign ownership restrictions. Finally, the last section discusses the implications of technological convergence for the telecommunications and broadcasting industries, and provides the Committee’s overall perspective and recommendations.
