Thank you for your question.
I found it very interesting that two days ago, I think, or three days ago, when the music industry was up here, one of the artists they had—I think her name was Davies, actually, no relation to me—was not even aware of the mechanical right reproduction, that they were going to get some money. She didn't even know anything about it. It's not going down to those artists. What little there is in that is not even getting to them.
I'll remind you of another story I had with one of the big record guys. About a month ago, in Toronto, I ran into him and I was talking to him, and I said, what do you think about this? He said they really want the mechanical right reproduction. I said, well, wait a minute, here, we're supposed to be on the same side; do you know what it is? And he didn't know what it was.
I understand his motive: because the house is burning, get that. So actually, passing this bill was going to help these guys, and so the artists and the creators are getting paid for this thing, but they're not even.... This mechanical right reproduction, as like Mr. Larche said, is a cash grab. We're already paying the creators.
I note what Ms. Lavallée said about the creators. We totally agree that the creators should be paid. We are paying them already. We just object to the music industry going back two and three times. It's double-dipping here, ladies and gentlemen.
