Thank you, Madam Chair.
To begin, I have a comment for you, Mr. Sinclair.
This is my little groupie moment. I wasn't a big fan of The Tragically Hip, but my late brother‑in‑law, Richard, was one of your biggest fans. By playing your songs and turning up the volume when they were on CHOM, he inevitably led me to start liking it. Today, I may be the person in North America who listens to the song Bobcaygeon most often and at the loudest volume. So I want to thank you for that and also for your testimony today. It was very important to hear your comments on this.
My first question is for Ms. Patell.
Ms. Patell, earlier today, the CRTC chairperson made it clear that the CRTC would not impose ways of programming algorithms or influence the way programming is done by digital platforms. Instead, he said that they would set goals and look for ways to improve programming, in collaboration with platforms like YouTube and others. This means that your suggestions for improving discoverability would be taken into account.
What do you think of that statement?
Do you still find that this might jeopardize the programming of your algorithms?
