That is a huge question. Actually, Quebec's act needs major adjustments and is currently being reviewed. After all, acts are normally reviewed after a certain number of years.
Federal legislation on the status of the artist would certainly simplify the lives of a number of artists through their unions, of course, that are often defending cases against a number of different producers in the industry.
As for the employment insurance program itself, I feel that everyone has agreed for some years that it is out of date in a number of aspects and must therefore be reviewed. That is certainly the case for self-employed workers, whether they are artists or anything else. That is also part of the work that the government must focus on, because the number of self-employed workers is increasing.
