Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
Ms. Schlittler, about two years ago, I had the opportunity to meet your director general, Mr. Rogard. The goods and services tax, or the GST, storm imposed on over-the-top television services in Canada really started during this meeting. He was right. By imposing the GST on online content providers, we ensure that we know who's doing what and to what extent.
Thank you very much. We appreciate your recommendations.
In both cases, your two organizations can vouch for the importance of discoverability. Mr. Bridges mentioned the low copyright royalties paid by music streaming services. However, in both cases, I think that the success of APTN, a channel that I know much better, is tied to the fact that its programming isn't confined to a given station on my Vidéotron terminal. It's part of the package, and I see it come through. Are content creators concerned about discoverability within this wealth of content, given the drop in copyright revenues per play or per view? We also mustn't forget to preserve our market share. Wouldn't you agree?
