Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act

This bill would require the U.S. Trade Representative to start an investigation within 30 days into whether Canada's Online Streaming Act and related regulations unfairly burden or restrict U.S. commerce. If the Trade Representative finds that they do and Canada has not taken satisfactory steps to change the measures within 180 days, the Trade Representative would have to take trade action, which could include suspending trade benefits or adding duties on Canadian goods. The Trade Representative would report to Congress within 90 days and then every three months for two years, and publish public summaries of those reports. The same process would apply to other free trade partner countries that take similar actions.
