Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Lac-Saint-Louis for his question.
Now more than ever, we need our artists to keep us united, connected and strong through this very difficult time. As soon as the crisis began, our government took immediate, strong action to support them. For example, we made sure that artists who collect royalties are eligible for the Canada emergency response benefit. We also announced $500 million in emergency support to meet the needs in the arts, heritage and sports sectors.
Our government has always been there and will continue to be there for our artists and our athletes in this difficult situation.
