Thank you, Madam Chair.
I am going to turn to you, Mr. Kearney and Mr. Weisz.
Earlier, my colleagues asked some questions and we skirted around the topic of the unfortunate closures of performance halls and creative spaces in the regions.
In terms of major centres and cities like Montreal, I will use the recently closed Afromusée as an example. It was a creative space. It also had a little bar and a small area for shows in an attempt to bring in more revenue. Despite the fact that it was in downtown Montreal and close to public transit, it ended up closing.
Are you seeing a trend where concert halls or theatres are closing or being converted into studios? How do you see that?
