Coming from the same area as Damien, I forgive you for adopting Mr. Robitaille. I welcome it and so does he, for sure.
Our counterparts in the English-speaking community of Quebec may not like the answer to your question, but I will answer you this way. Arcade Fire and similar groups originating from Quebec, who record, tour and produce songs and music in English have already achieved great success thanks to the main programs at FACTOR, which is the English-language equivalent of MUSICACTION. In any case, FACTOR receives 40% of the Vitrines musicales envelope and MUSICACTION receives 60%. That seems disproportionate to us. We know that anglophones in Quebec already have access to a very high level of financing at FACTOR, while this is not the case for us. Our Damien Robitailles have a lot of difficulty obtaining financing from MUSICACTION. This is improving over the years, partly thanks to the roadmap investments.
However, we think that there is something not only asymmetrical, but also problematic in this distribution. I also think that we must recognize that Canadian francophone artists are distributed over 250 communities throughout our vast country, while this is just not the reality for our Quebec friends.
