Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to begin by addressing my questions to Ms. Drouin and Mr. Chenart.
The fact that artists' incomes are declining is a concern to me. On the other hand, representatives of industries associated with the Internet, radio and so on say they are not the source of the problem. According to them, it is consumers who are making different choices and using these artists' music without paying for it. They say it is not their responsibility, and they are neutral. Consumers do not want charges to be levied on iPods, for example. You are proposing an expansion of the private copying regime, but clearly the public's reaction to that is very negative.
Do you see an alternative, a way of ensuring that artists receive a fair income, but without expanding the regime and without involving iPads, computers, and so on?
