Canadian Heritage committee  We are going to submit a very clear document. I have all the information in front of me, but it would take too long to read it to you. I know that time is short. Our requests for amendments are very clear. The Union des artistes thinks it is important to make a distinction betwe

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. At the end of the day, in these extremely difficult times for our artists and artisans, I feel it is my duty to share my concern about a Telefilm Canada program, Talents en vue.

Canadian Heritage committee  Clearly, and that is why it is very difficult for the Union des artistes to keep the bar high and negotiate extensively. I am hearing that there is no money to be made in new media, while the income of actors who do advertisements on television is still decent. But they are not i
