We do not want what is happening in the media and broadcasting sector with the arrival of Big Tech to be happening in the performance sector. I feel that, if we are not already alert to it, we have a serious problem. It's time to wake up.

Thank you very much for giving us this information, Mr. Weisz and Mr. Kearney.

The Chair Liberal Lisa Hepfner

I want to thank all the witnesses who joined us today.

If there's something you didn't manage to get on the record today, please send a note or a brief to our clerk and we can include that information in our eventual published report on this study.

I really appreciate all of your interesting thoughts today.

The meeting is adjourned.
