Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a question for the Société professionnelle des auteurs et des compositeurs du Québec.
The committee analysts did their work. According to Statistics Canada, music publishers' incomes in Canada increased from $148 million to $282 million between 2010 and 2015. That's a lot. During that same period, the average income of those who work full-time in the Canadian music industry increased for all occupations, except for that of Canadian and Quebec musicians and singers, whose average incomes went from $19,800 to $19,000; $800 less per year.
How do you explain that situation in Canada for that five-year period?
