So the environment has changed considerably. What I seem to be noticing here, however, is that this is a consumer issue and not a heritage or cultural issue. This is about the client's right to purchase a ticket without getting ripped off with a fake.
Ms. Benjamin, you did a good job of expressing the dismay of parents who bought their daughter a ticket for a Taylor Swift concert only to find out that the same seat was sold 100 times and that their daughter could, therefore, not attend the concert. It is frightening and it's very sad, it's true.
Even though this is a problem for consumers, I feel that it is to the benefit of producers because, as one of you said earlier, their objective is to sell seats as quickly as possible to be able to announce another show. I understand them. Even though producers want everyone to have a good ticket at a good price, at the end of the day, the problem affects the consumer.
Ms. Benjamin, I think I read something from you at some point when you talked about difficulties with the temporary stays of certain artists from abroad who were so popular that producers could schedule Canadian acts to open their shows. So I would like to hear your thoughts on other issues.
Could any other issues related to the production of live stage acts come before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage?
