Yes.
While CIMA's formal written presentation also deals with a number of other suggested changes to the bill, we wish to make sure that the Government of Canada understands the need of the independent music sector. We're struggling at a time of uncertainty in the law and need clear, enforceable copyright laws in order to continue to provide Canada and the world the best quality of music, songs, and musicians. In order to thrive, the owners need fair compensation for their products and services. We urge the Government of Canada to continue to take a leadership role in creating a law that puts Canada ahead of the curve and creates an environment where creators can thrive.
Thank you very much.
