U.S. Chamber Strongly Condemns Canada's Online Streaming Act

WASHINGTON, DC \- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce firmly opposes the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) latest action implementing Canada's Online Streaming Act, including CRTC Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2026-96 (released May 21, 2026). The Act would require a small group of targeted U.S. streaming services to devote 15% of their Canadian revenues to domestic programming expendituresand prominently feature Canadian content across their platforms' landing pages, carousels, and recommendation systems.
"The Online Streaming Act and related policy direction call for flexible regulation accounting for the unique business models of global streaming services," said Neil Herrington, Senior Vice President for the U.S. Chamber's Americas Department. "The CRTC's decision moves in the opposite direction by imposing rigid, one-size-fits-all obligations that appear designed to single out U.S.-headquartered services and give the Canadian government editorial control over core business functions."
"These measures also raise serious concerns about consistency with Canada's international trade obligations, including under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), particularly commitments related to fair and non-discriminatory treatment, investor protections, and restrictions on certain performance requirements.
"The U.S. Chamber urges the Government of Canada and the CRTC to reverse course and adopt a more evenhanded and technology-neutral framework-one supporting Canadian cultural objectives without creating discriminatory barriers that harm innovation, cross-border trade, and the Canada-U.S. economic relationship."

By Jonathan Kirkland
The Tennessee Medical Association (TMA) joined healthcare organizations across the nation in signing a letter in support of H.R. 8163, the "Provider Reimbursement Stability Act. The legislation makes progress towards an improved Medicare physician payment system that benefits not only physicians, but critcal access to patient care.
The letter, delivered to Rep. Greg Murphy, MD and Rep. Tom Suozzi, givesbackground information on the erosion of Medicare physician payment over the past several decades. Organizations who signed on collectively emphasized the improtant step forward this legislation represents.
"We strongly support the Provider Reimbursement Stability Act and urge its prompt passage," reads the letter. "This legislation should be understood as a part of a broader reform agenda, and we continue to call for an annual inflationary update to Medicare physician payments tied to the MEI. Together, these reforms would go far toward establishing a Medicare physician payment system that is adequate, stable, predictable, and reflective of the actual costs of delivering care."
On Thursday, May 21, H.R. 8163 passed through the House Ways and Means Committee. TMA will continue to monitor and support this and any legislation that improves Medicare payment processes.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Florida, May 23 -- The Southern Shrimp Alliance issued the following news release:
* * *
Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act Advances to Floor from House Energy and Commerce Committee
Legislation Authorizing the FDA to Order the Destruction of Imports that Pose Significant Public Health Risks Takes Another Major Step Forward.
*
Roughly one week after the Health Subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce met for a markup that included the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act (H.R. 2715), the full House Committee on Energy and Commerce met yesterday for a markupin including the legislation. Along with several other bills, the Energy and Commerce Committee advanced the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act out of Committee to now be considered by the full House of Representatives.
The legislation, as amended, was reported favorably out of the Committee with a strong bipartisan roll call vote of 43 yeas to 0 nays.
At the full Committee markup, Congressman Troy Carter (D-LA) - one of the original sponsors of the bipartisan bill along with Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) - offered a further amendment to the bill providing greater specificity as to the procedures through which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will promulgate regulations to implement this new authority to order destruction of unsafe merchandise.
In comments introducing the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act to the full Committee, Representative Carter emphasized how existing law allowed unscrupulous exporters, particularly from China, to get contaminated seafood products, dangerous vape and e-cigarettes, and counterfeit drugs, like GLP-1s, into the United States by evading the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) controls through port shopping. Congressman Carter noted that providing the FDA with this authority has been a priority for both the Biden and Trump Administrations and that the legislation was supported by a broad coalition of organizations, including the Southern Shrimp Alliance and the Louisiana Farm Bureau.
Why this bill is needed
Under current law, exporters can ship contaminated merchandise to the United States, withdraw the merchandise if flagged by the FDA, and try to bring it in later at a different port. This practice, known as "port shopping," exploits the FDA's weak inspection system and allows contaminated foods--particularly seafood--to reach American plates even after federal regulators have already rejected them.
The problem extends beyond food. At the Subcommittee's hearing on the bill in March, experts testified as to the need to close a loophole in existing law. Congressman Carter noted a rise in the exportation of dangerous vape devices and counterfeit drugs to the United States, often with no consequences for the exporters. The Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act closes this loophole and disincentivizes foreign companies from shipping dangerous merchandise to the United States in the first instance.
Congressman Carter's comments emphasized the widespread support for the bill. He noted that obtaining the authority to order the destruction of goods that pose a significant public health risk has been an objective of the FDA under both the Biden and Trump Administrations. He also underscored that the legislation was supported by a broad group of industries and public advocacy groups, including the Southern Shrimp Alliance, the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, the Partnership for Safe Medicines, the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities, and the National Consumers League.
Shrimp Industry Response to the Energy and Commerce Committee's Markup
The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) is grateful to the members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for prioritizing a bill that will protect American consumers and level the playing field for American seafood producers.
"Once again, the U.S. shrimp industry bears fortunate witness to the effectiveness of the bipartisan leadership of Congressman Troy Carter and Congressman Clay Higgins to eliminate a long-standing complaint of American shrimpers," said Blake Price, director of the Southern Shrimp Alliance."Any shrimp, seafood, or other FDA-regulated product that poses a significant public health risk to Americans must be kept out of our market. While the job is not yet done, we are proud to have been able to work with a large coalition of organizations, the FDA, and members of Congress to bring forward a workable, common sense legislative solution to a universally-recognized problem."
Closing the Port Shopping Loophole
The FDA itself has long recognized the dangers presented by this gap in existing law. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2023, the FDA requested authority to require the destruction of imported products that pose a significant public health risk. The FDA repeated this request in Fiscal Year 2024 and in Fiscal Year 2025. In its Fiscal Year 2026 Legislative Priorities, the federal agency revised its explanation regarding the need for this authority to provide greater detail regarding the nature of its concerns, particularly with respect to contaminated seafood:
"The Agency has observed importers exporting or attempting to re-import commercial- sized shipments that pose a significant public health concern including food contaminated with Salmonella, Listeria and carcinogenic unapproved animal drugs; human drugs such as hand sanitizer contaminated with methanol; and misbranded or adulterated devices such as contact lenses, COVID-19 test kits, and personal protective equipment. In May 2023, a high-volume importer/wholesaler pled guilty to attempting to re-import 2100 cartons of frozen eels from China that were refused by FDA because testing confirmed contamination with a carcinogenic unapproved animal drug. FDA believes this new authority would prevent reimportation of refused products and would deter importers from seeking to import products they know or have reason to believe would pose a significant public health risk and could be ordered destroyed."
Most recently, the FDA has again renewed its request for this legislative authority in its Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Justification. The problem extends beyond seafood. During a recent hearing before the Health Subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce about the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act, Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, Senior Scientist and Gillings Innovation Fellow at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, testified that port shopping is "a really common thing." He offered the example of muffins sold at a nationwide coffee shop chain that were found to contain plastic and refused entry, only to successfully enter the United States through another port and end up on the chain store's shelves.
Strong Bipartisan Support
The Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act was introduced in the House by Representatives Troy Carter (D-LA) and Clay Higgins (R-LA) and has attracted broad bipartisan support.
Currently, there are another fourteen bipartisan co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for H.R. 2715 from eight different states, including:
* Congressman Gus Bilirakis (R-FL)
* Congressman Don Davis (D-NC)
* Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)
* Congressman Mike Ezell (R-MS)
* Congressman Cleo Fields (D-LA)
* Congressman Mike Haridopolos (R-FL)
* Congresswoman Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA)
* Congresswoman Julia Letlow (R-LA)
* Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC)
* Congressman Gregory Murphy (R-NC)
* Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX)
* Congressman John Rutherford (R-FL)
* Congressman Gregory Steube (R-FL)
* Congressman Randy Weber (R-TX)
The Senate version of the bill (S. 3213), introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), has been co-sponsored by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) and Senator John Kennedy (R-LA).
Strong Public Support
As noted at the Committee markup by Representative Troy Carter, a large coalition of organizations have coalesced around the bill, spanning from federal regulators, consumer safety advocates, and the domestic seafood industry.
In February 2026, the Southern Shrimp Alliance led a coalition letter signed by sixteen American seafood-producing organizations to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, urging passage of the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act.
The signatories included:
* Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association
* Apostleship of the Sea of the United States of America
* Chesapeake Bay Seafood Industries Association
* East Coast Shellfish Growers Association
* Gulf of America Reef Fish Shareholders' Alliance
* Hawaii Longline Association
* Louisiana Crawfish Processors Alliance
* Louisiana Farm Bureau Crawfish Advisory Committee
* Maine Coast Fishermen's Association
* North American Marine Alliance
* North Carolina Fisheries Association
* Oregon Trawl Commission
* Port Arthur Area Shrimpers Association
* Southeastern Fisheries Association
* Southern Shrimp Alliance
* Texas Shrimp Association
In March 2026, the Safe Food Coalition sent their own coalition letter signed by eight public health and safety advocacy organizations to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, also urging passage of the Destruction of Hazardous Imports Act.
The signatories of the Safe Food Coalition letter included:
* Center for Science in the Public Interest
* Consumer Federation of America
* Consumer Reports
* Farm Forward
* Food & Water Watch
* Government Accountability Project
* Institute for Food Safety &Nutrition Security
* Stop Foodborne Illness
Before that, a September 4, 2025 coalition letter from organizations "committed to protecting patient safety and securing the integrity of the United States supply chain" also directed at the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, expressed strong support for the FDA's request for authority to order the destruction of dangerous imports, explaining that under current law, the FDA's process "sometimes results in [dangerous products] return to the rogue manufacturers, allowing these rogue manufacturers to port shop.
After this return, the rogue manufacturers simply reship them back to the United States, again aiming to breach our pharmaceutical border security and harm American patients."
The nine signatories of the September 4, 2025 letter included:
* Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies (ASOP)
* ECRI
* Institute for Safe Medicine Practices
* The International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition
* National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators
* National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities
* National Consumers League
* The Partnership for Safe Medicines
* Rx-360
What the Markup Means
A committee markup is the formal process by which a congressional committee considers, amends, and votes on legislation before sending it to the full chamber for a floor vote. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce's actions on Thursday mark another important milestone on the long path for legislation to become law and the legislation is now eligible for consideration on the House floor.

WASHINGTON, May 23 -- The Motion Picture Association issued the following news on May 22, 2026:

MPA Applauds UK High Court for Important Judicial Site Blocking Decision in Evolving Fight Against Digital Piracy
Court Order Provides Streamlined Process to Address Court-Adjudicated Infringers Moving to New Domains or Rebranding Illicit Websites
*
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) applauded an order from the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom that streamlines the process for blocking access to proven piracy services when they switch names or website domains to evade court orders.
The court's "omnibus" order marks a practical advance in the fight against digital piracy as the online piracy ecosystem becomes more automated and increasingly agile.
For instance, AI tools are increasingly used to generate domains, websites, and evasive infrastructure at scale.
When an illicit domain or brand is blocked or disrupted, piracy operators often respond by quickly moving to new domains, copycat services, or rebranded websites. That constant "hopping" undermines enforcement and forces rightsholders, courts and intermediaries into repetitive processes.
"This order, built on a years-long track record of safe, responsible, and effective prior orders affirms that judicial site blocking is a vital tool to protect creators and consumers from piracy-related harms while also supporting a well-functioning internet and defending democratic values," said Karyn Temple, Senior Executive Vice President and Global General Counsel for the MPA. "We welcome the High Court's recognition that effective enforcement must adapt to the threats posed by piracy operators, as enforcement frameworks need to be flexible and efficient enough to respond to the evolving piracy landscape. The decision reflects a balanced, evidence-based, and proportionate approach that supports faster, more scalable action against piracy while maintaining appropriate safeguards."

WASHINGTON, May 23 (TNSjou) -- The American College of Cardiology posted the following news release:
* * *
American College of Cardiology Issues Decision Pathway for Postpartum Cardiovascular Care
Clinical document provides key guidance for optimizing postpartum maternal cardiovascular health
*
A new Expert Consensus Decision Pathway by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) provides recommended strategies for improving postpartum care for individuals with and at risk for short- and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). The clinical document guides postpartum maternal cardiovascular (CV)health, recommending comprehensive postpartum cardiovascular care visits; early outpatient follow up for CV symptom monitoring; effective management of postpartum CV emergencies; and noncardiovascular aspects of care like lactation, mental health and contraception. The report published online today in JACC, the flagship journal of the ACC.
More than half of pregnancy-related deaths occur after the birth of an infant, and the risk of death rises substantially in the early postpartum period, especially the first two weeks postpartum. Individuals with the greatest risk include those with risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia, as well as risk enhancers like gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm birth.
"The postpartum period is a critical opportunity to engage in collaborative patient care that is focused on improving short- and long-term cardiometabolic outcomes," said Kathryn J. Lindley, MD, FACC, chair of the ECDP writing committee and associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. "Understanding and following a structured approach to the provision of postpartum care for all individuals with or at risk for CVD is a crucial first step toward eliminating excess maternal morbidity and mortality and reducing inequities."
The clinical document acknowledges the many barriers to care during the postpartum period and emphasizes the importance of following a structured approach for optimized maternal CV health care that begins immediately after delivery and extends through the first year.
Recommended postpartum maternal CV health care includes early blood pressure management and CV symptom screening, comprehensive CV risk factor modification and effective transition to longitudinal preventative care before the end of the first year after delivery.
The document is a report (https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2025.11.001) of the American College of Cardiology Solution Set Oversight Committee and was developed in collaboration with and is endorsed by the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
For an embargoed copy of the report "Optimization of Postpartum Care for Patients With and At Risk for Premature and Long-Term Cardiovascular Disease: 2026 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway," contact JACC Media Relations Manager Olivia Walther at owalther@acc.org.
