With a collective audience of approximately five million two hundred thousand people, The Amazing Race Canada, Rookie Blue and Saving Hope are the three most watched Canadian television series in 2013 (Bell Media, 2013). These, as well as many other Canadian series, can contribute largely with their success to the Canadian government's implementation of Canadian content regulations. These regulations came primarily in the broadcasting law forum. Regulations have since been seen as the main driving force of the Canadian film and video production industry.

All in all it is clear that the Canadian content regulations contained in the Government of Canada's Broadcasting Act of 1991. such as the CRTC 1999 public notices. -97 and 1998-44, ensure that Canadian citizens (public) are the primary cultural and economic benefactors of the content regulations established by the CRTC.
