As members of Parliament, we often don't agree on things. What I found during the last round with copyright was that we do agree that we all want to see fantastic content created. We all want to enjoy that content. We want to see our creators properly compensated for the content they create. There is some difference in opinion among witnesses in terms of what that looks like.
As members of Parliament, oftentimes we find that the experts are the ones who follow these issues, but I'd like to try to point my constituents to some of the conversations. What would you say to the average Canadian who doesn't live in this world other than by being an enjoyer of the content? How would you explain to them how screenwriters, directors, and producers are compensated for the work they do right now? What is the logistical reality around that now?
I'll go to you, Ms. Parker.
Then if Ms. Finlay or Mr. Stohn want to answer that as well, I'd like to hear from each of you.
