Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, thank you for interrupting. Ms. Paul, would you mind commenting on that quickly?

Canadian Heritage committee  Okay. Hopefully we'll have a chance to come back to that through another questioner.

Canadian Heritage committee  That's really helpful. Thank you. It's good for us to understand that and to have the context provided for us. Mr. Huisman, I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about your fan base. You talked about the fact that there are fewer people attending games now, and you suspect that this might be the case for a little while, going forward.

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Huisman, are there things that could be done by the government—or maybe it's that they need to do fewer things—in order to help that fan base come back, bring back those corporate sponsorships and basically get back to normalcy?

Canadian Heritage committee  Right. It's an interesting point. If you were to talk a bit more about the recommendations that you would make, not so much at the provincial level.... Of course, there are things that are needed there, but is there anything at the federal level, whether it's with regard to financial benefits or with regard to communication points, etc.?

Canadian Heritage committee  I want to come back to the impact of event cancellation and postponement. Is there anything that you would add in terms of the impact that has had on the Hurricanes and those within our community who are engaged?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. Ms. Paul, I'm wondering if you could expand a wee bit on your opening comments. You talked about the negative impact of supply chain disruptions, and then of course inflation. Could you comment on that a little bit further just to help us understand the impact?

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Mustakas, on that note, talking about behaviour and engagement from audience members, individuals who would come and watch shows, provincial and federal governments have put various mandates in place, and there have been promises made. Definitely the messaging out there at all levels of government has very much been to get vaccinated once, get vaccinated twice, now get vaccinated three times and life will get back to normal.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes. If you could put one request forward to the government in that regard in terms of consistency and anticipation going forward, what would it be?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you so much.

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, I have a point of order. Sorry, Mr. Champoux. The speaking order is supposed to go from a Conservative to a Liberal, each having five minutes, and then back to a Conservative for five minutes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Perhaps we could seek some clarity from the clerk.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. My first question will be directed to Alex. Mr. Mustakas, one of the comments you made in your opening remarks was with regard to the benefits that were handed out to help cover the cost of rent. You said that when a building is owned, it makes it rather difficult because there's no benefit available for that.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. In terms of your overall operations, were there any innovative practices that were taken on to help come through the pandemic on top, whether that was innovation in terms of the way that you fundraise, innovation in terms of the shows you put on or using technology in creative ways?

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, I'm sorry, but I am going to raise a point of order. This is not my talking time. These are not my questions. This is simply a point of order. Madam Chair, you just spoke to my colleague Mr. Housefather and then me in a very belittling and condescending manner when we raised a point of order, which is valid in nature and has been validated by the clerk.
