Good question, Keith.
PANDU does state that the definition of 'unacceptable use' includes activity that "impacts negatively the performance of Government of Canada electronic networks and devices". If a departmental CIO sees that allowing certain sites (e.g. video streaming) is causing significant impact to the network, the PIN allows them to approve the blocking of offending sites with that rationale.
Having said that, there are often other ways to address bandwidth concerns (e.g. traffic shaping, user education/awareness), so we encourage departments to investigate those options first.
