We're The Writers' Union of Canada. We surveyed our members about their income—not just our members, but writers across the spectrum—and what we found was that there has been a sharp decline in income in the roughly 10 years since this exception was put in place.
Incomes are down 27% just in the last three or four years, and down as much as 78% over the last 20 years. That's not all attributable to education not paying its bills, but it's a huge part of it for sure.
