Minister Moore, I know you have a long list of the artists you say support the bill. Madame Lavallée and I have people who are very concerned. One of the issues that I've heard again and again is that Bill C-32 seems to strike out systematically a number of existing rights of compensation that have existed. The Educational Rights Collective licence is removed. The broadcast mechanical tariff for music is removed. That's $21 million. It goes to musicians. Exemptions override numerous collective licence rights and numerous sections under education. And then of course there's the notorious levy, which you've defined as a “killer tax”, that has provided $200 million to artists since 2000. We've now seen a 60% drop in the last two years because it hasn't been updated.
Now, I believe that in the digital age we're talking about access and remuneration. Yours seems to be that it's going to be for free or you can lock it down. So would you be willing to amend the bill to address the issue of compensation that is being lost directly through provisions in the bill in order to have this bill go through?
