"Gem will be the crown jewels of Canadian content," Catherine Tait told an audience at Content Canada, a new industry event in collaboration with the Toronto International Film Festival on Wednesday. "It won't just be CBC content. The new streaming service will be available before the end of the year on the CBC TV app, which is being rebranded. "But what we want to do is: you're Canadian, you have Netflix and for $4.99, you're going to subscribe to Gem because you know you're going to get all the other Canadian experience." The new service will also feature "the very, very best of Canadian kids programming," Tait said.
