I would review all the problems with federal grants. That would include those from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and those from Canadian Heritage. This relates to all the problems we were talking about: foreign companies and private companies. That would be my first recommendation.
As for impact, I will echo what Mr. Weisz said: I believe that there has to be more mutual work between independent performance facilities and festivals. I feel that one has a lot to offer to the other. I believe that the size of the audiences that festivals attract is of great interest. They are places where discoveries are made. I feel that we could provide complementary assistance to the independent performance venues.
