Definitely. Furthermore, the CIMA proposed that in their brief. We supported that measure, but it is aimed at current conventional broadcasters. We absolutely must not forget them, because they are still a very important part of the landscape of music broadcasting. We must never forget that we have not quite transitioned into a new reality. We are still in a traditional world, if I can put it that way. The broadcasters have a significant impact.
There is something else. The CRTC has the power to regulate broadcast services on the Internet. They have chosen not to do so by renewing the exemption for new media. Personally, I do not believe that we absolutely must copy the radio regulations simplistically and apply them to the new music broadcast services. It has to be adapted.
We asked the CRTC, when they were studying the renewal of this exemption, to start to do something. On the Internet, there are several things and people play with combinations. There are so many things to do that that forces people not to do anything at all.
We have to study the Internet for what it is, that is to say many things. There are telecommunications, that is telephone conversations on the Internet, which we must not regulate, of course, because that constitutes freedom of expression. However, there are commercial services on the Internet, as there are music broadcasting services with subscription fees. Why is this beyond our control?
We must review all facets of the Internet and study this issue. We must take a step in the right direction and start regulating certain Internet services. Technologically speaking, it is possible to do so. If we do not do so, it is a political issue.
