For now, I am not suggesting that the funding structure be changed. I am rather suggesting a simple change to the eligibility criteria for the Support to Sector Associations Program. Currently, this program requires a minimum operating budget of $300,000. If that minimum was reduced to $100,000, associations such as the PMPA or the CMPA could receive support through the program. Funding is provided to publishers and record labels, but only record label associations are provided with assistance. All the PMPA is asking for is this change.
