The Guilde des musiciens et des musiciennes du Québec represents performers who are not directly affected by this measure. We do not represent songwriters strictly speaking, but these songwriters belong to companies and associations with which we work closely.
That said, we fully agree on the possibility of extending the term of copyright to more than 50 years. This is already the case in a number of countries, such as France and the United States, and it would allow for protection that would facilitate remuneration over a longer period. This would especially benefit songwriters whose musical works are exploited over a long period of time.
