Happy birthday, sir. Mine is next week, so we're all Gemini, I guess.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're meeting today for our fourth and final meeting regarding our study on the state of creative and performance spaces across Canada.
We have with us today Ariane Caron Lachance, executive director of Antitube and Cinéma Beaumont, by video conference.
From Ballet Vancouver, we have Joshua Beamish here with us in the room.
From the Conseil québécois du théâtre, we have Caroline Gignac and Rachel Billet, who are with us in the room.
From the École de musique Alain‑Caron, we have Angel Blanco, master's in musical performance, who is also with us in the room.
From the Fédération culturelle canadienne-française, we have Nancy Juneau, who is in the room, and Laurence Dubuc, who is joining us by video conference.
We also have, from PAVED Arts, David LaRiviere, who is here with us in the room.
Each organization will have five minutes for an opening statement, and then we will turn to questions from members.
I will advise you that we are expecting another vote in the House of Commons in the next hour or so, so we will likely have to take a break from this committee and then come back. If we have unanimous consent from members, we can go a little bit past one o'clock if everybody's available. I'll canvass members closer to the time to see if everybody's willing to do that.
We'll start here in the room with Ariane Caron Lachance from Antitube.
Excuse me, she is joining us by video conference instead.
Ms. Caron Lachance, you have the floor for five minutes.
