First of all, I would like to make a distinction between COVID‑19-related programs and regular programs. The problem we are currently experiencing is with the Major Festivals and Events Support Initiative, which has been voted and is very ad hoc and focused on reviving the festivals and events sector. We don't necessarily work on a year-by-year basis, but rather on a festival or event-by-event basis. While there were originally supposed to be two editions of the program, there is now just one, as it took eight months to set up.
In the case of the Department of Canadian Heritage's regular programs, the problem is not that the programs are not permanent. They are, but the new investments are done on a piecemeal basis and are not currently assured beyond 2024, because they opted for an annual approach. So the problem is really about the duration of the programs.
