That's what I thought you said, but I wanted to be sure. That's another excellent question.
Yes, of course there's always the potential to be seen as elitist, but I don't think we need to be the opposite, which is provincial and small. Our artists in the music industry are the best in the world. In fact we have more multi-billion-dollar selling artists in the music industry than the U.K.--Céline Dion, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, and all these wonderful groups.
Nickelback was just another indie band from Vancouver. They used to back up my band in the nineties. I know Chad well. He's worth $50 million now. Great. Fantastic. I think they've been an amazing Canadian success story, but they started as an independent group.
I think I said in my presentation that we should put excellence first and produce quality, but we should be supporting independence. I think you can have quality independent production. It doesn't have to be small, and there doesn't have to be a lack of quality. At the same time, I think you need to balance that. There are certain sectors of the community, especially in the music industry, that need help and support. And that's....
Go ahead and cut me off. I'm sorry about that, sir.
