Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to take a moment to thank all of the witnesses for coming, and for sharing their stories. It is really a desperate situation, and I recognize the position you're all in.
I was flying to Ottawa to be in the House this week, and I sat beside a musician on the plane who has left the industry. He is a young musician, and he couldn't make ends meet. He couldn't stay in the sector. He said this is something he's heard across the board over the last eight months. It's really devastating to see things like that happen.
I'm going to follow up a bit on Mr. Louis' intervention. I'll ask Ms. Drouin to start talking a bit about what we can do to encourage young artists to remain. How we can support that? The New Democratic Party has been pushing for a guaranteed livable income.
Do you think that might be an opportunity that would be useful for the artistic community?
