Thank you so much.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for speaking today on the topic of copyright and the need to update Canada's copyright laws.
As I'm listening to the discussion, I hear the frustration. I also am reminded how, in general, the public has a lot of misguided perceptions about the value of compensating writers and artists in general. I'm a composer myself. I remember before my work as an MP that it was an ongoing struggle.
It's very clear that the numbers that were passed around.... It's not a large amount. I would love to hear that conversation going further.
Could I hear from Access Copyright? What is the argument that you're hearing from those who don't want to change the laws and enforce the tariffs, etc.? What is the argument?
