What's being asked by the community, and I think we've all aligned on this, is not to impose a levy on consumers, but to seek a fund, a temporary four-year fund. The number that has come up is about $40 million per year. That is therefore not a levy. It becomes something that comes out of treasury. It's a decision that the Government of Canada will have to make as to whether it feels it's important enough to remunerate artists and others for private copying, which, by the way, is what happens elsewhere in the world, often through levies. However, that's not our proposal.
