Canadian Heritage committee  I would like to thank my very dear colleague. I would like to thank the witnesses for their very interesting presentations. Mr. Déziel, I have a question for you, and I will let you answer after I question Ms. Mulholland. The question is very simple: as a group, if you had to

Canadian Heritage committee  It's important.

Canadian Heritage committee  Did you like Mr. Adams' suggestion of 25 years after assignation of the licence as opposed to after death?

Canadian Heritage committee  Okay. Mr. Bussières, I did the math based on your data. In Alberta, the minimum wage is $15 an hour.

Canadian Heritage committee  Where are your video game hot spots in the country?

Canadian Heritage committee  We're continuing to support that growth. You mentioned piracy. Are there other things that this committee should be concerned about, or is that primarily the work of our colleagues at the industry committee? I also sit on the justice and human rights committee. I'm interested i
