Thank you very much, Madam Chair and colleagues.
Thank you both for your presentations.
Brad, as an openly gay member of Parliament, the first elected to this Parliament from Alberta, I thank you for taking a struggling asset as an ally and using your business acumen to turn it into the top four—soon to be top three—niche player in the industry against some giants who, I will say and you can confirm, probably didn't want you in the market when you were starting out. It would have been easier for them to eat your lunch, but you're now dining at the same table.
Thank you for exporting the best content. I think if some of my people were here they would say thank you for bringing RuPaul's Drag Race to Canada and allowing people to watch it on their devices, because it's fabulous. That includes all our allies.
You have a long career of taking the CRTC to court and winning. That may be another study for another day on our side. I know there is the tyranny of the CMF and the big players and how we could create more access, but I see you as a visionary who sees the models before the rest of us see the models.
What do we have to get right in copyright, from the perspective of the artists? You can talk to the indie people who are going to defend the industry, but what do we have to get right in copyright to make sure that the writers, the screenwriters, the creators—all the creatives who help you develop that talent and the creative content that's going to go to South Africa and New Zealand and Australia—get their fair share to make sure their mortgages and their groceries are paid, and they can keep creating?
