I certainly appreciate where you're coming from.
I think it's hard to quantify in advance that a person should do one, two or five pieces, because we don't know what discipline they're going to be working in. I think the bill does state they are to “produce or cause to be produced artistic creations” and support and “sponsor artistic events”. It's clear that work is to be produced.
I have worked with the poet laureates in my years in the Senate, and they produced amazing work and have done some for me. George Elliott Clarke wrote a poem in support of this bill.
I have no difficulty with saying, “Yes, work must be produced”, but I do have difficulty quantifying it, because we don't know if they're going to do many drawings or they're going to do one big film. I think we have to be very careful not to quantify what somebody can do with the discipline that they work in.
