Okay, everyone, welcome back.
This is, of course, pursuant to standing order 108(2), a motion adopted by the committee of October 23. The committee resumes its study on the challenges and issues faced by arts, culture, heritage and sports sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At this point we have three guests with us from three different organizations. We have, from Arts Commons, Alex Sarian who is president and chief executive officer; from the Canadian Association for the Performing Arts, Frédéric Julien, director, research and development; and from ParticipACTION, Elio Antunes, president and chief executive officer.
The way we normally do this is you get up to five minutes to start your presentation. I will be a little lenient.
We're going to start with Mr. Sarian from Arts Commons.
