The Meanings of \Multicultural\ in Canada's 1991 Broadcasting Act
2017
Overview
Despite Canada's policies on multiculturalism, there continues to be a dearth of minorities on Canadian television screens, in part because the idea of multiculturalism has long been contested. This article describes the term's competing meanings by examining the debates about Bill C-40, which became the Broadcasting Act, between its introduction in Parliament in October 1989 and its passage into law in February 1991. These debates had three areas of focus: the former act's national unity clause, the expansion of ideas of multiculturalism, and the tools of implementation. Ultimately, the relevant clauses in the Broadcasting Act left the term \"multicultural\" open to such a wide range of interpretations that they could be implemented without effecting a meaningful change.
