I would also like to discuss the need to reform the Copyright Board of Canada. The CRTC has not addressed this issue because it's not at all its responsibility. On the other hand, we've heard a lot about it. Unfortunately, there are no publishers among us today. I'm surprised that this issue hasn't arisen more often since the start of these hearings, but everyone agrees on the strange nature of this agreement that the publishers have signed, which provides that fractions of cents will be paid to rights holders in the context of ongoing distribution services. We won't be able to change this situation. The major artists represented by these labels and the publishing houses themselves have lamented the fact that their music, on a piecework basis, is not worth much.
Do you think we can hope that a compensatory measure will be adopted for Canadian rights holders whose visibility, discoverability, and markets are undoubtedly more restrictive than those of international artists?
My question is for Messrs. Johnston and Moncada, as well as Messrs. Lauzon and Lavallée.
