Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My colleague Sophie Chatel mentioned the cultural sector, which is included in the tourism and hospitality recovery program. Mr. Poirier confirmed this, and we are very happy with that inclusion.
We, in the Bloc Québécois, are very concerned about self‑employed workers in the cultural sector. In fact, a few years ago, the model for independent and freelance workers in the cultural sector in Quebec took the form of self‑employed workers. What is understood from Bill C‑2 is that self‑employed workers in the cultural sector currently find themselves without a support program, as there is no longer the Canada emergency response benefit, or CERB, or the Canada recovery benefit, or CRB.
Could Mr. Poirier or Mr. Baylor confirm this for me?
Thank you.
