Thank you very much.
I have a question for the people from the Alliance nationale de l'industrie musicale.
As I see it, your movement deserves to be better known. You are making a very daring choice in withdrawing your material from platforms because you see the compensation to be appalling. You are right. We certainly agree. Just now, Mr. Henderson said that the Spotify system was better than Google's in terms of royalties, but even those from Spotify are a real disgrace. We have to call things for what they are. It is true that the royalties you receive are appalling, and it only becomes potentially worthwhile on the international market.
Sometimes, I agree with the Minister of Canadian Heritage. I really agreed with her when we went to Paris. We went together because I felt that it was really important to go and renew Canada's commitment to cultural diversity. Today, here we are at the point of having to put some teeth in the principle in order to defend cultural diversity. Defending cultural diversity means making sure that our government sets standards so that we can invest in order to support our artists. One day, the minister also brought up the idea of geolocation criteria in the metadata of streaming services.
In your opinion, would it be worthwhile for the first product that streaming services should offer people in Acadia to be something local? At the moment, that would not be possible because you are not on them. However, I understand you.
What can we do to support you? Otherwise, your artists' music will only be copied onto CDs and cassettes.
