To echo everything my colleagues have said, there would be a collapse of the theatre sector, definitely; there would also be a loss of venues, a loss of companies, a loss of artists, and a huge loss in the diversity of Canadian stories being told. There would also be an increase in mental health crises, both in the professional community, as well as in the public.
We know that the public goes to the arts to boost themselves, and with less art available, we'll see an impact in Canadian society. I truly believe that.
