I'm glad you're here today, and I'm going to do something legitimate for a change and actually make this hearing about you instead of about the political wranglings that happen in the House of Commons. How about that for a change?
I think we should be here to get some information from you. I'd like to point out to all my colleagues that this is the very reason why they're here, to do this, for us to extract the information to make future decisions.
Nevertheless, I'd like to ask you, Mr. Péan, about the situation you find yourself in. You made a comment that really actually interests me. You said something about the publisher you know who got two writers to be published because of the program that was available to them where they can promote themselves internationally. Could you go into more detail about that? I'm trying to explore how this program works. I understand the concept of foreign market development for our authors, for our artists, but how imperative is it for them to rely on a program such as this in order for them to publish material?
