Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, colleagues.
This is where the whole problem started, with the deletion of the exemption to the exemption. This is where this whole issue started.
We've got a situation here where the government is saying that artists are getting paid too much money. That's essentially what you're saying here today. You're saying artists are getting paid too much money and broadcasters need a helping hand.
There are small broadcasters out there who do need a helping hand and we understand that, but we're not talking about that because 80% of broadcasting is pretty well locked down by very large corporations that are making significant profits.
I'm wondering if the government side can say whether the intention here is to give broadcasters a 30-day window or is the intention here to let the broadcasters off the hook for the broadcast mechanical? Which is it? Does someone on that side know and, if so, do they want to say?
