Great. I understand completely.
Basically, the CRB ended on October 23. The government called an election and reconvened Parliament two months afterwards. Bill C‑2 was drafted and your organization was consulted during the process. However, as you mentioned earlier, a number of categories of artists have been excluded from the bill, especially self-employed cultural workers. Let me give you an example. In my constituency, Terrebonne, the Théâtre du Vieux‑Terrebonne used to play to full houses, but it's now operating at one third of its capacity.
We can see that Bill C‑2 has nothing for culture, whereas, as you so rightly said, we needed a program yesterday. We really want to hear about how badly we need a program, how urgent it is, and that, right now, the current program is not adequate. We need a specific timeline.
