Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome all the witnesses. They are a thought-provoking group of representatives.
My questions will be for the music industry representatives, hence Ms. Paré and possibly Mr. Cash and Mr. Claus.
Thanks to all three of you for being here. Your presentation painted a rather discouraging picture of the current state of the industry. Among other things, you mentioned the problems faced by independent producers and artists in competing with big American stars because of the ready availability of music on online platforms. I know that part of your revenue also comes from traditional radio broadcasting rights. But then many traditional radio stations are shutting down.
How has this been affecting your industry?
