Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our three witnesses for being here.
You might think I'm just saying this to be polite or out of habit, but it's very important that we conduct this major review. We have agreed to hear from individuals who have a good overview of the matter and to have the right witnesses appear. We want to try to fully understand the situation by focusing on the priority issues. As Mr. Brown said, a very comprehensive study was done 10 years ago. As Mr. Young said, we need to bring our attention to what has changed. So thank you for being here.
Let's talk about what has changed. I went through your document, and I think that it will help us organize our witnesses. I can't help but notice that you said earlier that technology was a big change. We feel the same way. I like pointing out that, when we all arrived here in 2011, hardly anyone had an iPad, whereas everyone does now. This has clearly changed.
You said that the issue was having audience statistics for companies like Netflix that are completely changing the game. I read an article this morning in La Presse that said that Netflix is having the same effect on the movies that Uber is having on taxis. We can't be against technology, but we need to consider its impact.
When I heard you say that having statistics is what will help us adjust to all this, I wanted to ask you how you intend to make up for the mistake the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages made. On the second day of the CRTC hearings, she said that she would not touch the Internet, when obviously that's what is shaking up the whole ecosystem.
