Well, thank you. After hearing this testimony, and testimony from so many others, I am ever more confused than I was when I started. I tried to think of what values we're trying to reflect. In the testimony we've heard over a long period of time—I don't know how many witnesses we've heard from—there's great variance in the values being reflected.
Some were talking about ensuring we have an open marketplace, with supply and demand organizing it, and wanting value for artists and fans, Canadian content and revenue to Canada. Tickets should remain the property of the customer or the owner. Internet sales are important. How do you keep yours safe, and authenticate them? Those are the values I've heard reflected, but the problem, I think, is focused around the sales of tickets that don't exist: the fraud and holdbacks perhaps creating a false marketplace. It is a marketplace that, with the Internet, is broadly expanding to places we can't even anticipate at this time, and bots are a challenge within that.
Given those values and problems, and that the practices we've implemented so far are minimal, I'm not sure what the solutions are. Some of the solutions suggested have been selling the right ticket for the right price, whatever that means, bot legislation and enforcement, simple resales and not holdbacks.
There were attempts from Ontario, which was going to put a cap on prices. I think the newly elected government has withdrawn all that legislation so that there's no cap. They seemed to see that as a solution. Quebec and B.C. have implemented some things.
Given that context—and you've given one example of strategies we could look at, which include tracking sellers' sales and taxation—do you have any specifics and answers we could be turning to? Given the wide range of testimony we've heard—and we're getting close to the end of that—and some of the values you're reflecting, and that we've heard, where does that lead us, in terms of practices and legislation? We've taken this on, and with the stories you've told, and the challenges there, I'm pretty confused. I'd like you to enlighten me.
