Media outlets are ramping up their efforts on Parliament Hill as MPs consider Bill C-10, an act to amend the Broadcasting Act. The proposed legislation was introduced in November and is currently at second reading in the House of Commons.
Quebecor Inc. is seeking support through the Canada Media Fund to discuss policies such as those relating to conventional and specialty television. Quebecor has hired Garry Keller of
StrategyCorp Inc. in this effort.
Torstar Corporation is requesting a review of the government’s advertising to ensure that the “buy Canadian” percentage is level with overall procurement. Torstar is advocating for an Australian model of fair content compensation, and wants to discuss making digital subscriptions income-tax deductible, as well as the Canadian Journalism Fund.

TORONTO Nancy Tower knows just how important help from the highest echelons of corporate Canada can be for someone trying to break into the old boys club. She was a promising worker when she started at Halifax-based energy company Emera Inc. in 1997, but said a gender-blind CEO gave her some advice that helped her ascend to become the president and chief executive at subsidiary Tampa Electric. He prodded her to get experience in all areas of the business, making her a more well-rounded executive candidate, even if it was lonely at times. I was chief financial officer of Emera for six years and when I would attend conferences, most of the CFOs would be male. I didn t have a lot of female colleagues, Tower said. I think the utility business does tip toward more males in senior positions.
