Things have evolved a lot in recent years. Anywhere there is music, you will find publishers. They have diversified their sources of income a lot in the audiovisual area. Anywhere there is music, you will find them managing it and earning a profit from it. Music has never been seen in terms of value so much as it is now. They take the same pieces and publishers do a lot of work on them. One of the problems is that, in order to be paid, we have to have our music played.
That is why I talked about the CRTC a little earlier this morning. Currently, our music is being played very little, if at all, on online music services, particularly francophone music. So it seems critical to me to remove the exemption on new media broadcasting companies in order to let the CRTC do its job and in order for those companies to be part of a model that has been successful all over the world. Quotas on the radio were imitated by France, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Catalunya, Ukraine, Canada and Venezuela. Canada started it, in fact, and I feel that we should continue with that interventionist philosophy.
Recently, Australia has asked for minimum recommended requirements for Australian content on music services in Australia. It is possible to do that, and we are not the only ones asking for it. Having our music played is what will allow us to do our thing, first, because we will be paid directly and second, because it will have an effect on our concerts, our popularity and a number of our activities. It is our gateway to having a value. If no one listens to your music, you will have no career and you will never be paid. It's as simple as that.
