Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for your question. The CRTC has been regulating broadcasting activities for decades, and I am sure that it will find a way to do the same online. It's a matter of time. A number of experts have made suggestions on how to do that, including Pierre Trudel. I think we sh

Canadian Heritage committee  It may be worthwhile to look at the number of petition submissions that have been successful in the past versus the number of petitions submitted. It doesn't happen often, but a few petitions have been successful. In some cases, it made all the difference. A well-known case in 20

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes. I think that if YouTube, let's say, or other services go in front of the CRTC and demonstrate that these types of measures would have that impact, I do trust that the CRTC would not impose such conditions. I think this argument that we have been hearing over and over is not

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Julian. I completely agree with what Mr. Saulnier just said. I have some statistics in connection with the last question. Between 2016 and 2020, contributions to the Canada Media Fund and other such funds dropped from $431 million to $397 million. Canadian progr

Canadian Heritage committee  You're right. I didn't miss a second.

Canadian Heritage committee  I have to tell you that I agreed with all the points raised by my colleague Jérôme Payette, who is the treasurer for the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. It's unfortunate that those who support the bill are seen by some as people who don't really understand wh

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you very much for the question. I'd be glad to answer it. I found the methodology used for the calculation at the Canadian Heritage site. I'd be happy to send you the information. It clearly explains how these amounts were determined for both the audiovisual and music sect

Canadian Heritage committee  Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Nathalie Guay, the Executive Director of the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which has only a few requests to make with a view to improving Bill C‑11. First, the broadcasting system must continue to promote Canadian ta

Canadian Heritage committee  It's true. Some of the broadcasters today—and Mr. Péladeau said it many times—are asking for conditions to be reduced so they can compete better. In a sense, they are right that the conditions are unfair to them at present. We propose that online undertakings have to meet the sam

Canadian Heritage committee  Is there a magical solution that will satisfy all the interveners, not all of whom have the same interests? That's a tough one. I'm not convinced that it's the right question. I'm sorry, I don't want to appear to be too critical, but I think that the government...

Canadian Heritage committee  ...has all the legitimacy needed to reach the right decision for our cultural sovereignty. I believe that the context has definitely evolved. Many have pointed that out here today. However, it does not mean that the goals we were defending 30 years ago are no longer applicable to

Canadian Heritage committee  As you mentioned, this happened yesterday. We're certainly going to meet with our members to discuss it. I spoke to us several of them and can already tell you that they are extremely disappointed with the approach, which looks more like market regulation than the cultural act i

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for your question. We're afraid that we will end up with more translated content or content subtitled in French unless the act is strengthened. We believe that it's important to strengthen the act with respect to original francophone content. I'd like to remind you th

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Mr. Skolnik. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Nathalie Guay and I'm the Executive Director of the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. You've received our seven main proposals for the improvement of Bill C-10. I'll go over them quickly and I'd b
