Yes.
I was a musician in a past life, when I was very young. I travelled across Canada and Quebec, playing in small venues. What I'm hearing now is that touring infrastructure is practically nonexistent or very hard to come by. It fell apart a long time ago due to a lack of funding. There's also a shortage of venues in good condition. Over the past 20 years, there's been a fairly significant deterioration of creation and performance spaces.
Right now, your committee is dealing with a serious issue, and it's going to quickly escalate. We're spending money trying to save these spaces, and many of them are closing as well.
