I have close friends in this business, and you are right ; this policy will not help live music. It will boost older artists with established names and big studios who helped them many years ago. In my humble opinion, this government leads with polls, targeting specific non-urban region and older generations.

If your friends are Québec based musicians, they should get involved in Ecoute Mon Album - the program was started for those exact people.
