Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. I'll be sharing my time with Mr. Baylis.
I have one question and that goes to Mr. Payette.
I'm going to share some statistics with you. This is a concern that I have regarding the statistic that I looked at. It has to do with the decrease in the median income of the musicians and singers. The statistic that I was looking at indicates that between 2010 and 2015, the revenue of Canadian music publishers increased from $148.3 million to about $282 million. Over the same period, the median income of an individual working full time in the Canadian music industry increased as well. Those occupations include producers, directors, choreographers, conductors, composers or engineers.
However, the median income of musicians and singers saw a decrease of about $800 between 2010 and 2015. Can you share your thoughts with me as to why that is ?
