Well, I'll begin by pointing out that 95% of francophone music is put out by independent companies. It's really a distinctive market that is completely different from anywhere else on the planet.
The industry structure grew over several decades from the early 1980s onward. Musicaction provided support for the industry, making it possible to build a very stable star system in the francophone marketplace. Examples include established artists like Ginette Reno, or emerging artists like the indigenous artist Kanen, who already has two awards to her credit. It's a tool that definitely helped the industry develop into a strong star system.
We've reached a turning point. The current media crisis is obvious, and the music sector is being affected too. More than ever, we need government support to keep our music alive and have it resonate, for our parents and our children.
