Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll come back to Mr. Laperrière, because we had a very interesting conversation earlier.
Mr. Laperrière, I have a persistent concern. Since we realized that the assistance programs for freelancers or self‑employed workers in the cultural sector were coming to an end, the concern is that we risk losing expertise. As we know, self‑employed cultural workers often have expertise and passion. It is very easy to fear that, if they don't receive financial support, many of these workers will migrate to other sectors of activity.
What damage do you think could be done to the cultural industry if help is not offered quickly?
