At the Association des journalistes indépendants du Québec, we are certainly trying to establish a fee schedule. The Union des Artistes has much the same idea: to force the media to pay us decently. As freelancers, of course, we work with professional media, so we are recognized as journalists. Many are members of the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec, because we are journalists of the same standing. Of course, it is easy for a media organization to pay less for freelance work. We are seen as cheap labour, in a way. So I feel that a minimum level of salary, corresponding of course to the company's circulation and budget and to the work that needs to be done, could still help freelancers.
Do you have any other ideas, Mr. Lamoureux?
