I had a financial estimate done on our private member's bill, and under the existing sales there would be $25 million in royalties coming to artists. If we remove the levy and remove the right of artists, we have a $25 million hole. Add to that $21 million in mechanical royalties. Madame Milman, that's quite the kick in the teeth that Canadian artists are expected to take to get this bill through.
