Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I stand to be corrected, but I believe there were two at that time.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I can't deny that this would happen. I think you see that in Quebec, with the 65% French vocal content that radio stations have in Quebec. Even though they may only be legislated to play 35% Canadian content, quite often the reality is that they're playing way more Canadian conte

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I don't have it here, Mr. Rodriguez.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I'm happy to have our people table it with you.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you for your question. I found it very interesting that two days ago, I think, or three days ago, when the music industry was up here, one of the artists they had—I think her name was Davies, actually, no relation to me—was not even aware of the mechanical right reproducti

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Mr. Fast, we share the concerns of the record industry and the artists.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Mr. Rafferty, thank you for your question. I'm glad to hear that you're from northern Ontario and understand some of the realities of what broadcasting is, and living in those sorts of communities.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Mr. Garneau, thank you for your question. We're only talking about the mechanical rights here. We're talking about the $21 million reproduction right here. That's all we're talking about. The fact is that we're already paying the artists and the creators. We are already paying w

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I understand that, and this is the point of our objection. It is about the mechanical rights reproduction. I want to say to the music industry—I heard Mr. Angus say this two or three days ago, when he was talking to the music industry, and this has been said many times—that the

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Good afternoon. My name is Ross Davies. I'm the vice-president of programming and operations for Haliburton Broadcasting Group Inc., based in Toronto, Ontario. I'd like to thank you for inviting us to speak here today. I am a life-long broadcaster. Having followed in the footst
