Canadian Heritage committee  Unfortunately, we don't have that information. Stingray is not a completely interactive service like YouTube or Spotify, and we don't deal directly with the rights holders. We pay our royalties through collective management companies. We have no way of knowing how SOCAN or Ré:So

Canadian Heritage committee  No, not at the moment. I have done some reading about it, but up till now we have not seen any consequences. We do not even know if there has been any ripping from our platforms.

Canadian Heritage committee  At the present time, our Stingray Music service for television must offer a Canadian channel for every non-Canadian channel that is made available.

Most of our services are distributed through third parties such as the BDUs, so it's a little bit different in our case. Most of the streaming we do is made by subscribers to the TV service

Industry committee  Not at all.
