Sorry, ma'am, I want to take exception to what you're saying. Your comments at the outset were that there was something for everyone in this bill. I happen to believe—and I think a lot of Canadians believe—that there's actually nothing for creators. We're talking about artists here.
Let me put something more focused for you to consider. In your ads, you're stating:
Local radio in Canada may be threatened if Bill C-32 is not passed as introduced by the Government. This much needed Bill may fail because the Liberal Party wants an amendment that would have local radio stations send money to big recording companies outside Canada.
You say that local radio may be threatened. I have to ask...and take exception, because the Copyright Board found last year that the typical small radio station, the kind that you're announcing, with revenues of $120,000, would pay about $4,600 in total copyright royalties, while medium-sized stations with revenues of $1.1 million would pay $44,500.
Isn't it true that about $700 of the small stations' payments and $9,200 of the medium stations' payments would be for the use of reproduction right?
