At Music Canada we do represent Sony, Warner and Universal. These are major labels with big operations here in Canada, full of Canadians making Canadian music at all levels of the industry. The industry is one massive ecosystem that requires everyone, from the artist you haven't heard of today to the artist at the top of the charts. We at Music Canada try to be passionate advocates for all musicians and those who help them.
You're right. The industry is very different. Madame Drouin has a very specific focus on Quebec, and it's an important role. We have our focus. During this time of crisis we have tried to place our resources, our time and our effort into ensuring that the artists you haven't heard of yet have an ability to break out after the pandemic; and that's by making sure they're supported, that's by making sure they're still here. It's one of the reasons that our members and others in the industry made commitments to the Unison Benevolent Fund, which I would strongly recommend the committee look into further. This fund existed before the pandemic to help artists who found themselves on hard times. Obviously now those hard times are wide-reaching. We are strong supporters of that organization.
