Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for coming and sharing this information with us. It's very interesting.
I'm from Edmonton Strathcona. That's my riding. As many of you will know, it is sort of the heart of the theatre industry in Alberta. Certainly, we host the Edmonton fringe festival, which of course is the largest and oldest fringe festival in North America. In addition to the round tables that the minister did, I also did some round tables with theatre folks in my community. I was really impressed. They are very innovative. They've used technology to produce shows, and to find ways to have smaller live audiences that are safe, and to follow protocol.
But in every case, it was more of a way the artists saw themselves getting by or reminding audiences that they still exist. It's not a solution to their financial problems. It's not going to save these cultural organizations, of course. They're grateful for the funding they received through the COVID-19 emergency support fund, but the funding won't be enough. We were initially planning on this going until maybe the fall. We're now looking at it going again into the summer and for who knows how long.
Will there be another round of emergency funding so that these theatre organizations can survive? If so, when, and can you show us any details about that?
