I totally agree. When I was asked to sit on a legislative committee, I knew that I would have to roll up my sleeves and work. I was really astonished to see that we would meet four hours a week. It would have been just as well to send this bill to any other committee; but we are here to work together. I think that this bill has major consequences for all artists and stakeholders. They have been waiting for a long time. I am quite disappointed by the opposition's attitude. We could have stayed in our own committees instead of coming here for four hours. On this committee, we want to work together in order to come up with something that is consistent, so that those people, who have been waiting for so long, can benefit from the bill. I think it would befit us to at least work to show that we are working for them. I will be working for them.
