Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent speech. One of the issues in my riding has been children coming to school without having breakfast or something to eat. I know the government has been doing some work on this. I am wondering if the member would be able to explain more about how we have been helping families through food at school.
Absolutely. At the New Glasgow riverfront, The Jubilee is from July 31 to August 2. Buy your tickets now. Thank you.
I'm going to run out of time. How many nights a month would you say the theatre is dark?
That's a good problem to have. You mentioned earlier the benefits of a sold-out show. Can you expand for me on how important you think creative and performance spaces are to local economic development and tourism?
That's amazing. Thank you. I'm interested in that Pictou Landing connection. How important would you say indigenous-led artists and cultural opportunities are in contributing to reconciliation and revitalization?
Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning, everyone. It's so great to see you all here today. Thank you for coming. Mr. Simms, I'd like to start with you. I found it interesting—your comments about balancing artistic endeavours with community access and fiscal responsibility. Can you talk a bit about how Glasgow Square Theatre assists the community?
I have less than a minute now and I want to check in on PCVRS, which is providing important rehabilitation and vocational services to many veterans. Could you quickly walk the committee through what the department has learned from veterans' experiences with the rehabilitation program? What steps are taken to address where opportunities for improvement are identified?
