Expert: Quebec’s proposed French-language streaming quotas 

Published: 14 November 2025

Quebec is weighing new rules that would impose French-language quotas on global streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple, Netflix and YouTube. The bill would require apps to default to French, set quotas for French audio and video, and spotlight francophone content on smart TVs. 

Allen Mendelsohn, a Lecturer in the Faculty of Law, is available for interviews on this topic. He is an expert on internet law, digital media regulation, platform governance and consumer rights.
