Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
I offer a huge welcome to you, Minister, and a warm welcome to Ms. Roy and Mr. Flack.
As you know, Davenport has a very large and talented artistic, creative, and cultural community, and some from the community are here today as part of Arts Day on the Hill. There is huge interest in this Creative Canada policy , so I have a few questions for you.
First, one of the conversations we've had in the riding is about the lack of affordable spaces for theatre, dance, visual arts, and music. There's a huge belief that there's a lack of affordable spaces across Canada as well as in my dense urban riding of Davenport. So how does Creative Canada plan to support new performance spaces for artists and creators?
I know we talked a little about community hubs. I'm wondering if there are some additional dollars as well for affordable spaces. Thank you.
