Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act
This bill directs the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate whether Canada's Online Streaming Act unfairly targets American streaming companies by imposing discriminatory taxes and content requirements. It authorizes the Trade Representative to consult with affected U.S. businesses and trade partners, then potentially take retaliatory trade actions if Canada does not amend the measures. The legislation also requires regular reporting to Congress on Canada's implementation of these policies and extends similar investigative powers to other countries with comparable digital trade restrictions.
