Canada's heritage minister will conduct a full review of the federal government's cultural policy with the goal of adapting it to the digital age.
Melanie Joly announced Saturday she will lead a series of public consultations that will examine the government's role in supporting Canadian content creation.
She said in a news release that the creative sector needs to adapt to changes in technology and in how content is consumed if it wishes to grow.
Members of the public are invited to participate in the process by answering a questionnaire on the government's website by May 20.
The survey includes questions on the role of public broadcasting, challenges to the culture industry and how Canadian content should be promoted abroad.
The next phase of consultations is expected to begin this summer.
