Reasons for decision

[1] The Board adopts as an interim decision taking effect on January 1, 2009 the licences filed by L’Association québécoise de l’industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo (ADISQ) as Exhibit RP-1 and by SODRAC 2003 Inc. and Society for Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers in Canada (jointly SODRAC) as Exhibit S-3.

[2] This decision is made to respond to the situation described in paragraphs 41 to 44 of the ADISQ application, as an emergency measure. The applications for interim decisions by ADISQ and SODRAC will be examined later; that examination may or not lead the Board to amend this decision.
