Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  That makes a difference.

Finance committee  Let's first go to the change in approach as to when the CEBA support comes in. That makes a tremendous difference. For me, for the school, for our treasurer, it's all about cash flow. Receiving the rent support before the rent is due makes an unbelievable difference. That's very important.

Finance committee  Yes, I will. I think what would be helpful is if the deadline for repaying that loan could be extended by two years. I'm looking at 2024.

Finance committee  By nature I'm very much an optimist. By nature I believe in the strength and the tenacity that art and dance have in our humanity. I know it will be an incredibly hard journey, mainly because the dreams have been lost, the examples, the mentorship, the ability to have a great person to look up to, be it a dancer, a musician or an actor.

Finance committee  Thank you for this opportunity. My name is Pia Bouman. I would really like to begin by expressing my admiration and thanks to the Government of Canada during this time of COVID. It has often been the saving grace for this school. I would like to point out a few facts about the school.
