Mr. Chair, I have a couple more questions for Mr. Rayes before I go forward.
First of all, he talked about the thresholds and I think I would want to amend that, because in my mind, I think we also don't want to exclude those who want to be part of this, and that's something I'm going to ask him about. Does he have any statistics on how many are above and how many are below that threshold? Also, has he had any conversations with the cultural sector? Has he asked any of the cultural sector or the artists who are impacted by, say, YouTube, what they would suggest in terms of this amendment?
I also have a question I'd like to ask Mr. Ripley. I'll just get them all out and you can manage all of my requests as you see fit, Mr. Chair.
The question I have for Mr. Ripley is, would the exclusion apply to all of the act and not just the requirements to make a financial contribution? For example, every reference to an online undertaking in the act would exclude those who do not meet this threshold. Is that correct? I guess that is what I'd like a little more clarity on.
