Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would now like to ask Mr. Brault, from the Canada Council for the Arts, two questions I asked the representatives of the Department of Canadian Heritage earlier.
The first question concerned basic income for artists, something that exists in other countries. We know there is a glaring need. Several witnesses attested to the problems artists experience in this regard. Do you think it would be worthwhile to follow the best practices that exist in other countries and provide our artists with a basic income?
Second, do you think it would be useful for the Status of the Artist Act to provide for binding arbitration, to put artists on a more level playing field with the organizations?
