Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thanks to all of you for coming today. I'm sorry the time is so brief.

We've heard from witnesses today that consumers wind up paying more under this bill. We have heard the music industry will be hurt to the tune of $22 million in losses from this. Now we're hearing that Bill C-11, in your view, will lead to job losses.

Mr. Cormier, could you please let us know how many job losses you are forecasting and how we should amend the bill to avoid that situation?
