Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his excellent question.
I have something to confess. I am lucky enough to be living in a yellow zone. The Abitibi-Témiscamingue International Film Festival was able to hold its premiere screening in Rouyn-Noranda during this pandemic. Of course, very strict special measures were in place. However, as I was present that day, I can confirm just how important culture is. It is good for mental health and good for the soul to be able to attend such an occasion. It is vital that we invest in our creations and in our creators. This is part of the social fabric and part of what makes us happy to be Quebeckers.
I call on the government to be compassionate and generous towards our creators. The future of Quebec's culture is at stake.
