I thank the members of the committee for their confidence.
Mr. Adams, when I was 19, I went to Old Orchard Beach, in Maine, on a motorcycle. It was 1984, and the song Summer of '69 was being played; it was very good. Thank you for being here today.
Mr. Adams, you said that one way for us as Canadians to reinvest in our artists would be to return the ownership of their copyright to them after 25 years.
What triggered this involvement for you to be here? You mentioned the next generation.
What made you realize that the situation makes no sense anymore in Canada and that we should evolve? Can you explain your motivation in bringing this forward today?
