Canadian Heritage committee  I'm not sure, Amy, if you have that figure. If not, Mr. Waugh, we can get you that.

Canadian Heritage committee  It's not about doing more, necessarily, Mr. Waugh. Again, Netflix is a good example. They are already here. They are doing a ton of production activity in Canada, right? So it's about actually using the market, just like we do with CTV, for example, saying that because you're i

Canadian Heritage committee  We studied how the CRTC currently imposes obligations on broadcasters, and we've done some calculations to come up with the figure. The vast majority of the revenue is tied to the obligation to contribute to the production of Canadian content. As the minister mentioned, we alre

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, that's a revised figure, Mr. Waugh. We previously discussed the $830 million. We recently updated that figure. We have seen a growth of these services over the course of the pandemic, obviously, and we've also seen the entry of new services into the Canadian market, for exam

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Julian. I have been following the testimony of the OUTtv representatives. Right now, Bill C‑11 includes a tool, which is the power of the CRTC to require Amazon Prime Video Channels, for example, to include certain Canadian channels in their servi

Canadian Heritage committee  We'd be happy to share a high-level summary of the results of the survey. The actual data tables will be published in the next few months on the department's website, but we're happy to get you a high-level summary in the interim. On your second question, I believe as I mentione

Canadian Heritage committee  No, I think my colleague, Ginette, did a good job of summarizing it, that the flip side of this is that many of the kinds of working relationships that artists and creators enter into would fall under provincial jurisdiction. We see that there is a robust regime in Quebec. The

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for your questions, Mr. Champoux. I'm going to let my colleague Ms. Beaton answer those questions. Because she manages several arts programs, she is probably in a better position to do that than I am.

Canadian Heritage committee  Our role is to provide policy advice primarily with respect to part I of the act. That's the piece of the act that our minister is responsible for. If you look at the act, it's principles-based language that primarily reflects the value that artists bring to society and the recog

Canadian Heritage committee  Perhaps I can start, and then Monsieur Brault might also want to jump in. You referenced the survey. We made a really intentional effort to include online creators in our outreach for that survey so that their input was included. I believe my colleague Kelly spoke to this. We do

Canadian Heritage committee  We are doing that reflection. Some of the statistics and information I shared with Mr. Louis go to that. We are working to understand the modern realities of artists and creators. As Monsieur Brault highlighted in his opening remarks, they continue to be precarious. We've worked

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Champoux. The obligation to have a scale agreement is not mandatory. So the witnesses are correct on that. My colleague Ms. Brazeau may have some observations to make to the committee. Of course, responsibility for Part II lies more with our coll

Canadian Heritage committee  We do monitor what goes on in other countries. My colleague Kelly's team, for example, does a regular international scan. You're correct that there has been movement in several jurisdictions, which are looking at primarily pilot projects around support for artists and creators.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Champoux. I am still available to the committee. As I mentioned in my response to a previous question, we currently have no plans to review the Act. It is certainly a good idea to ensure that legislation remains consistent with current trends. W

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, we are certainly aware of that. My colleague Ms. Beaton knows the history behind the creation of that council. I will ask her to answer the question.
