In fact, the most compelling page in the brief you presented is the last one, which contains the comments by Daphne Odjig and Mary Pratt. At the end, you talk about Mary Pratt and you cite her remarks. She produced paintings that sold for $40 in the 1960s. Today she lives in poverty, even though her works sell for about $20,000. She therefore receives virtually none of the current value of her works. They are the object of speculation and the only ones who benefit from that are speculators in the arts industry. She continues to live in poverty despite her own achievements.
You said the measure was only for public art sales. Why are private sales not included?
