I would say more of the same for FACTOR. Keep it. FACTOR doesn't only touch artists. It touches managers. It touches the Western Canadian Music Awards, and it touches the Canadian Country Music Association, a lot of organizations where my artists get a start and grow. FACTOR touches them directly.
The second thing, which hasn't been mentioned, is that royalties on digital streaming are decimating labels. I have an independent label and I used to make x amount of money per CD sale and now less per digital sale. Now I'll get a statement where there are 10,000 streams of Brett Kissel's song, and I'll receive $1.00 or $1.50 for it, and I'm thinking, “How am I going to make a living at this? How am I going to support my staff?”
The final thing is that, just as the NHL has to prop up hockey in Florida, Tennessee, and Arizona just because the market size isn't there, the same thing goes for Canada with its cultural industries, especially its music industry. Again, it might sound very disparaging, but we're up against the big American entertainment giants, and it's very hard to compete. It's very hard to draw some air from the room because they suck it all up. We need the support of the federal government. We really do.
