Thank you.
What I'm hearing from today's guests—and I think it falls to this Parliament to be responsible and move when we are presented with the next copyright bill—is that the problem is illegal redistribution. Fix that, the market works.
One of the things that Mr. Angus and others are hearing about in regard to what I've referred to as the “iTax” is the fact that the music industry in Canada is in a desperate situation right now. They'll take money any way they can get it. They'd prefer to have a system that operated with rules. We had a guest the other day who said that good fences make good neighbours.
Mr. Henderson, you've said today that we should set the box in place and allow people to understand what the laws are, and they will obey them. I tend to agree with that. And shut down some of the sites that, frankly, are stealing content, or allowing content to be stolen, and the market will work.
With respect to the levy, which I and my government are wholeheartedly opposed to, I would just propose this: would you rather have a system that worked, where the fences were defined, where people like Ms. Gilliland and Mr. Millar could work on these emerging platforms, and Ms. McKennitt could put her material on those new platforms and be paid for it? Is this not what you're asking for?
That's my understanding of what the industry really wants.
I'll allow each one of you to respond to that.
