Canadian Heritage committee  As we mentioned in the brief, bring them into the realm, social media included. I'm sure you all have heard of the TikTok hits these last few months. That's social media. If we don't bring them in, then they can do what they want and not promote and not add some discoverability t

Canadian Heritage committee  There are some talks in Europe, as I'm sure you know, and Minister Guilbeault is trying to circle with everyone. I guess the European model is the one we know the most, and we'll see where that takes every country, but because there may not be a model out there yet, that doesn't

Canadian Heritage committee  Good afternoon. We are before you today on behalf of SOCAN. We represent the rights to musical works of our 160,000 members, songwriters, music composers and music publishers.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'd like to add something on the subject of dumb pipes. For a long time, we thought they really were that. Now they're capable of promoting data use.
