The concert you gave in 2005 still gives me shivers.
My background is major junior hockey. I was part owner of the Saint John Sea Dogs major junior hockey team. Certainly I've dealt for years with agents and players in negotiations and whatnot. My question to you—you've kind of answered around it a little bit—is that good negotiation always comes with leverage on both sides. Both sides of the party need a little bit of leverage to have good negotiation. One thing I've certainly seen with artists in music...and you'll have to forgive me here. I'm new to the committee, so I've missed a lot of the previous testimony.
I grew up listening to music by the Stampeders, Edward Bear, Lighthouse, Chilliwack and artists like that. Those artists and new artists have no leverage. As you mentioned in your testimony, you were just happy to sign a deal to pay your rent. This is kind of a two-pronged question, but structurally, just name me a couple of things we can do as government to help give new artists more leverage. What can we do?
