REGULATION OF FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF PUBLICATIONS
There
is no provision to the effect of prohibiting foreign capital in
written press under the Foreign Investment Review Act. All that
it states is that foreign investors must be approved by the Ministry
of Industry since a newspaper is a business activity that relates
to Canada?s cultural heritage and national identity.
The
Broadcasting Act states that the Canadian broadcasting system shall
be effectively owned and controlled by Canadians.
