Industry committee  I would like to go back to the royalty exemption again. Once a station hits that $1.25 million, how does the process change in terms of paying the tariff?

Industry committee  I would hope that we would find some agreement along those lines. That being said, I'd like to ask the same question to the National Campus and Community Radio Association. Would that be an issue for your association: to have that at least brought up to a proper level of today?

Industry committee  Well, if you can't find some agreement on literally paying dollar for dollar what it was meant to be in 1997, I find that the two positions are pretty far here, Mr. Chair. I'll go back to the National Campus and Community Radio Association. In your brief, you referred to a seri

Industry committee  I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for taking the time to lend us their expertise here today. I'd like to start with Ms. Dorval. Ms. Dorval, you mentioned that many radio stations offer a lot of local content, particularly news, and I just want to reiterate how important th

Industry committee  How can you argue that paying in 1997 dollars, you would have been able to purchase more with that? I think that's a rather inane comment, madam. It should be that if something applies.... We do this with old age security and with many government programs to ensure that they are

Industry committee  I recognize that point, but at the same time, really, $100, whether it be then or now, isn't a lot of money. Again, the idea is that, bit by bit, that loosens its ability to pay for something in today's dollars.

Industry committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for all of the testimony here today. One of the concerns I do have...and there are a lot. There are concerns that musicians aren't able to provide for their families and to have their rights respected. That's an important thing. I'm also quite wo

Industry committee  I'd like to believe that legislators always do the right thing and vote the right way. There is a balance though between trying to establish and continue the rights of the creators with the rights of everyday citizens. Who judges? The thing is, with Google and these automatic fil

Industry committee  I would say the two models are very different. One is set up to serve the Internet in a different way, and the other one is meant to serve people who like that kind of music. I'm going to hand it off to Mr. Lloyd for the remaining time.

Industry committee  Thank you. I'm going to be sharing my time, hopefully, with Mr. Lloyd. I'm going to follow up from my colleague Mr. Baylis. Mr. Paris, in regard to this subject, obviously, some films that were filmed close to 100 years ago are sometimes remastered and now are available, refor

Industry committee  So the ones that have plays in both media creation, distribution, and content—

Industry committee  Now you said there are a few different options. If such a program were to be put in place, such as FairPlay has suggested, there would be costs. You said that the state could possibly pay for it, which means the Canadian taxpayer or a certain subset. Again, there's some proport

Industry committee  Especially in rural areas, where there's a smaller network—

Industry committee  Then, of course, the other alternative is to have the media companies that are asking for these takedowns to happen to do it, and then it would be all on their customers. Is that correct?
