We do not share that point of view. We don't consider that allocating government subsidies or funds is the best source of income for authors or publishers. It is always difficult, random and complicated for an author whether a journalist or a writer, to obtain those subsidies.
There is a system collective management which functions very well and is recognized and used worldwide. Canada, however, is not following what the rest of the world is doing on this point. We receive fees for the reproduction of works outside of Canada. However, we receive nothing for the reproduction of Quebec works by Canadian users outside Quebec and that is not normal.
