You asked how our organization reacted to the directive from the European Parliament. We were delighted. Actually, the whole world is delighted with the directive which was passed by a very large majority in the European Parliament on September 12.
We think this is a sound model that should inspire you because it would support our economy and our culture. Creators' revenues have fallen, even though the use of their works has multiplied and expanded. It is time to find a way for Canadian creators and Canada's cultural industry to recover the money that leaves the country and does not come back.
For example, the directive calls on content sharing service providers such as YouTube to conclude fair and appropriate contract licences with rights holders. That is something we should draw inspiration from.
Unfortunately, I am not aware of what you mentioned in the United States, but we will look into it. Perhaps we can provide further information in the brief we will be submitting to you.
