We have raised the issue on a number of occasions with officials at Canadian Heritage and with people in Minister Guilbeault's office. The response from Minister Guilbeault was very positive, but we are still waiting to find out what the sector can expect on March 31. That's the only answer I can give you; we are really still waiting for a signal on what will happen with those programs.
With the Canada Arts Presentation Fund in particular, it is important to remember that the program had not been increased since 2007-2008. The additional funding provided was an improvement, therefore, an indexing that brought the program's funding to a level similar to when it was created in 2001. So we are not looking for a significant increase in 2019, but rather for an indexing.
As things develop, when activities resume, it seems appropriate to us to consider these programs as tools that could help us move the recovery forward, specifically by considering additional funding.
