How is it that the US has already passed such an Act and Canada hasn't?
This is far more fundamental than the question of whether the Government should fund public media? We can spend all the money we want on public media, but if the Deaf can't access it, then of what use is it?
In fact, should we require private media to provide closed captioning, that would be far more useful to the deaf than public media that isn't required to provide it.
