Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
My thanks to everyone for joining us today.
A media report published in January 2026 dealt with the issue of new approaches to the use of their activity space by artists' organizations. For example, in Calgary, there's a network of heritage buildings, like King Edward School, more than 100 years old, that has been converted into a space for the arts. I am also thinking about the director of the Halifax Folklore Centre in Nova Scotia, who organized an open-mike acoustic evening in a funeral home. I could also talk about Terrebonne, my own constituency, where heritage buildings are used as spaces for artists to present their works. In my opinion, making buildings that would otherwise sit empty part of emerging culture is a good practice.
Mr. Weisz and Mr. Kearney, how can we encourage practices of those kinds? What role can the various levels of government play in encouraging those practices?
