"Extensive consultations with the public and industry groups have helped shape the Canadian Sound Recording Policy. Our experience and success with the Sound Recording Development Program (SRDP), as well as studies of the
sound recording sector, and an independent evaluation of the SRDP, also
provided important direction. Three main objectives emerged from this
process:

• To enhance Canadians’ access to a diverse range of Canadian music
choices through existing and emerging media;
• To increase the opportunities available for Canadian music artists and
cultural entrepreneurs to make a significant and lasting contribution to
Canadian cultural expression; and
• To ensure that Canadian music artists and entrepreneurs have the skills,
know-how and tools to succeed in a global and digital environment.

The Canadian Sound Recording Policy addresses each of these objectives to
ensure that Canadians and the world have access to a diverse selection of
Canadian music on their radios, television sets, in stores, at public venues and on the Internet.

The policy establishes the Canada Music Fund, a series of eight programs in
support of policy objectives. As well, it creates the Canada Music Council
comprised of a diverse cross-section of music industry representatives to
advise the Minister and the Department on the implementation of initiatives to
support songwriting, composing, new musical works, specialized music,
market development initiatives, sound recording entrepreneurship, and to give
access to and preserve Canadian musical collections.

Ultimately, the Canadian Sound Recording Policy will measurably contribute to the success of Canada’s sound recording sector. And, in building on then success of the SRDP, the policy will adopt a more holistic approach to developing this sector."
