Thank you so much, Madam Chair. I appreciate the opportunity.
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of the deponents today. The arts, culture, heritage and sport sectors, even in the best of days, often struggle to keep going. There are lots of challenges in those sectors. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you're doing to really help Canadians.
The depositions were fascinating. I learned some things. I have a couple of questions. I'll start with Jacoba from the Canadian Arts Coalition.
It sounds like you've done a lot of research in Toronto. You mentioned there were 164 members prepandemic and currently there are 107 members who have survived COVID over the two years. Can you talk about the loss of almost 60 members? Resources and money, I can imagine, were number one, but what were some of the other reasons they had to close their doors?
