À partir du volume 57, la Revue de droit de McGill est devenue la première revue canadienne à lancer une importante série de podcasts. Depuis, nos podcasts ont exploré de nombreuses problématiques en droit canadien, notamment sur la justice criminelle et le fédéralisme canadien. Nos podcasts ont également traité de sujets de droit international, comme les crises humanitaires et le développement de nouvelles normes internationales, tel quel la personnalité juridique de l’environnement. Dans chaque épisode, nous invitons des universitaires de renom, des praticiens et d’autres experts, qui ont été impliqués dans les débats et décisions qui altèrent et révolutionnent le droit au Canada et dans le monde.

Bill C-11, commonly known as the Online Streaming Act, has been riddled with controversy from its introduction in June of last year, through to its adoption as law in April 2023. Canada’s first major reform of the Broadcasting Act since 1991, the Act aims to promote Canadian content on online streaming services, in part by extending the regulatory powers of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). In this episode, we hear from Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, on why the Act falls flat, and how it misunderstands the nature of on-demand streaming services.
This conversation was recorded in January 2023, while Bill C-11 was in its third reading before the Senate.

Our discussion centres around the history and evolution of solitary confinement, why its elimination has proved difficult, and the challenges of piecemeal versus system-wide change.
