A New Deal For Canada’s Arts Sector
A New Deal For Canada’s Arts Sector
Arts and culture makes our communities vibrant, advances social change and drives economic development in Canadian cities. For decades, Liberal and Conservative governments have hurt the Canadian arts sector with budget cuts, punitive funding processes and a lack of advocacy on the global stage.
I will support a strong, independent Canadian arts and culture industry by;
- Putting in place income tax averaging for artists and cultural workers.
- Modernizing the Broadcasting Act fairly to rebalance negotiating power for Canadian independent producers and the Canadian cultural sector.
- Calling for a report investigating social inequalities, including workplace abuse, in the arts sector.
- Enhancing financial support for FACTOR and other Canadian media funding programs.
