Canadian Heritage committee  That's all right.

Canadian Heritage committee  Again—

Canadian Heritage committee  We are lacking enforcement mechanisms. Our current mechanism is related to licences, involving suspending licences, removing licences or imposing new conditions on licences. Licences are valuable because there has been a closed system. As the closed system is changing, new play

Canadian Heritage committee  There's are various means, and the levy was one of the examples that was highlighted in the report.

From the regulatory side, we made statements that there was enough money in the system at this point in time, and the proposition here is to just spread the level across all of the players in the system, as opposed to just a handful of them.
