Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses for being here today.
This is important testimony we are getting. We deeply appreciate your availability in speaking to the committee about Bill C-11 but also about the possible amendments that can actually improve it.
I'm going to start with Ms. Noble and Ms. Blanchette from ACTRA. Thank you for your work nationally. I'm certainly hearing from ACTRA members across the country who are very favourable toward C-11, but you have pointed out something that's extremely important—that you effectively can't have a level playing field if you have two standards around Canadian production. Currently, the way the bill is structured for foreign online platforms, they don't have the same responsibilities in terms of Canadian production and Canadian employment.
Could you talk about the importance of making sure that the bill does set a level playing field and that foreign online platform companies actually have the same responsibilities as Canadian broadcasters do?
