Thank you, Mr. Thibeault.
Good morning. I would like to thank you for asking the Coalition des ayants droit musicaux sur Internet to appear before you.
CAMI is an organization that brings together the five author, composer, performer, producer, publisher and musician trade associations, and the four music right collectives that are active in the music industry. CAMI therefore is the unified voice of the entire Quebec music industry, representing over 100,000 music right owners.
CAMI is represented before you today by Solange Drouin, Vice-President, Public Affairs, and Executive Director of the ADISQ, and myself, President of the Société professionnelle des auteurs et des compositeurs du Québec.
We will be splitting the presentation of CAMI's five main recommendations, which are set out in the document we are providing to you today. That document also contains the specific, concise amendments that should be made to Bill C-11 based on those recommendations.
The five recommendations are: make Internet service providers liable; consolidate the right of reproduction; modify the user-generated content exception; address the private copying regime; and define educational fair use.
