Thank you very much. We have fun in this committee.
This is a really important study and one that I'm so glad we're doing. I thought it was important to bring this study forward. Jonathan spoke about this in particular. We often celebrate artists once they're exporting, once they're in the big rooms. However, the reality is we will not have artists in the big rooms unless we support them when they're in the small rooms. It requires a lot of risk, a lot of failure, like every other business that we invest in in Canada. They don't always work. Not every show works. It's about experimentation and creating spaces in which people can take those risks without breaking the bank.
This group today has been really important. We've talked about the importance of networks.
I think networks like RIDEAU are very important in Canada.
Particularly since we have an artist here, it's important for us to have a sense of that journey.
You've talked about playing in the basement of a burrito restaurant.
