You have a lot of time, Mr. Del Mastro.
I want to go on. Minister Moore said the levy is “a real threat” and they will “fight this...every step of the way”. He then justified it by saying that because money is paid to the Canada Council for the Arts, taxpayers are already giving musicians more money, so therefore the levy is irrelevant.
I'm trying to get the idea behind this concept because I don't know of any other state in the western world where, because taxpayers support an arts fund, consumers are exempt from copyright. Is there any logic to this? That because we have a Canada Council you don't have a right to get money from the levy?
