English term or phrase: marble-removal challenge

Similar to the too-big-to-fail response to banks around the world, the CRTC regularly confronts the marble-removal challenge: the few, very large and highly integrated broadcasting and telecommunications companies can threaten to walk away from Canadian content production, causing embarrassing and potentially irreversible damage to Canada’s cultural sector

un problème de reprise des billes

Explanation:
ou bien "un défi en cas de retrait de leurs billes"

Best to rephrase by using the verbal expressions: "arranger ses billes ; rendre ses billes ; rentrer ses billes ; retirer ses billes"

On pourrait aussi garder l'expression plus tard dans la phrase et dire: "... le CRTC est souvent confronté à un problème en cas de retrait ( ou démission, désengagement, désistement...): les quelques société [...] peuvent menacer de retirer leurs billes de [...]"

Example sentence(s):

Et Seillière a repris ses billes sans que proteste Jean-Claude Gayssot, à l'époque ministre (communiste) des Transports
Tout ce qui a été fait entre vous est nul et non avenu... Rendez-moi mes billes et on recommence
