Welcome to this 124th meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Today we are resuming our study of remuneration models for artists and creative industries.
Beginning with a panel of three sets of witnesses, we have with us today, from the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, also known as ACTRA, David Sparrow, national president and a performer. We also have Laurie McAllister, director of the Performers' Rights Society and Recording Artists' Collecting Society.
We also have with us Robert Malcolmson, senior vice-president of regulatory affairs with BCE Inc., and from Rogers Communications Inc., we have Pam Dinsmore, vice-president, regulatory cable, legal and regulatory affairs, and Kristina Milbourn, director, copyright and broadband, legal and regulatory affairs.
I'm going to go in the order that we have on the agenda, so we can begin with ACTRA, please.
