Good afternoon, Madam Chair and members of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
My name is Boomer, and I am the Interim Executive Director of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres, known as PACT.
I'm joined by my colleague Nick Tracey, Senior Director of Administration for Young People's Theatre and recently appointed chair of our advocacy committee.
We are here today to represent PACT's members, 150-plus professional theatre companies operating across the country.
