Thank you, Madam Chair.
Congratulations, Mr. Rodriguez, on your appointment as Minister of Canadian Heritage. It's an extremely important department, especially these days. I also want to commend you on the work you did in your former role as Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
The first question I wanted to ask you was a follow-up to Mr. Nater's question around Russia Today. A number of cable companies have stopped carrying this. It is a network that is propaganda to justify slaughter, and we know what is happening in Ukraine right now. How many cable companies are continuing to carry RT right now?

Yes, there's no doubt. I think Canadians want to see action taken by the government in those remaining areas.
Thank you for your answer.
My second question is about all the emergency support measures the government cut in October. A great deal of artists suffered the consequences of those cuts. Some 900,000 Canadians were affected by the arbitrary cuts, which they found out about just 72 hours ahead of time.
Many artists are in that boat. In fact, we've heard at length about the dire straits they are in.
Can you tell us how many of them will be able to take advantage of the Canada performing arts workers resilience fund or receive some other type of assistance?
Are you looking into the number of artists who were no longer eligible to receive benefits when the government cut emergency support programming in October?

Artists have been very clear that what they need is less stringent criteria for the Canada worker lockdown benefit. It doesn't provide enough help to artists who are suffering the consequences of the emergency support measures being cut.

Thank you for that.
The other question I want to ask you is about online hate. We certainly saw how this has succeeded in radicalizing a percentage of the Canadian population. We saw that with the occupation, and we're seeing that with a rise in anti-Asian hate, anti-Semitic incidents, Islamophobic incidents, racism and misogyny. We are seeing people being radicalized now.
How do you intend to tackle this issue of online hate, which is radicalizing a certain percentage of Canadians and having a profound impact, as we're seeing, on the number of hate incidents across the country?

It's something Canadians are seized with, given the increase in incidents across the country. What are the timelines for the government to put forward legislation that will help to deal with this?

We'll be left wanting then.
I'll move on to another topic. Several countries, such as France and Ireland, have already established a basic income for their artists. This is a good way for artists to contribute without ending up in a situation where they can't put food on the table.
Is the department considering a basic income for artists?

Another issue, of course, is employment insurance and the fact that it really doesn't respond to our artists who often have these difficulties. It's a bit of a roller-coaster ride for often very dedicated people who want to practise their craft. We've certainly seen it over the last couple of years with COVID.
Within your ministry, are you also looking at changes to employment insurance that would make it a much more viable program for artists, for people who are in the television and radio industries and movies and all of these sectors that have been hard hit through COVID and where there is a real difficulty in establishing a stable income?

Thanks, Madam Chair.
Thank you for staying. We appreciate your work on behalf of the people of Canada.
Some of the people of Canada are in the live performance sector. We've been hearing from them first-hand. Because of the way the live performance sector works—with musicals, theatre productions—there's a long lead time. They are very concerned about what may happen if there are not additional supports put into place for them. Because of the long lead times—six months in some cases for music productions—and all of the rehearsals before they can actually get to the point where they're selling tickets and revenue comes back, are you currently examining and considering other supports that would go to the live performance sector?

Okay. Thank you for that.
I'd like to go on to the issue of the web giants. Many organizations—the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, MIT—have correlated the rise in online hate and radicalization of people—which we saw, notably, in Ottawa over the last three weeks—with algorithms and a diet of toxic videos, toxic information that is sent to people, often people who had no prior experience with that. They may simply have asked whether vaccines are safe, and they're dragged into this echo chamber of very toxic misinformation that has led to radicalization and online hate.
I'm wondering to what extent the ministry is looking at that and to what extent you're engaging with the web giants on this—when I say the web giants, of course, I'm thinking of YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram—so that they have an awareness of their responsibilities to curb what is becoming an increasingly toxic sector.

Are you looking at other best practices in other countries? For example, there is legislation before the U.S. Congress now that tackles that issue of transparency around algorithms and making the web giants responsible for the algorithms that are leading to this progressive radicalization and dramatic increase in online hate that's manifested often, as we've seen, in person. Are you looking at those models as a possible direction to take?

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thanks so much to our witnesses. We know that these are difficult times during the pandemic. We thank you for your service and hope that you and your families and loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic.
I want to start by asking Ms. Sandmeyer-Graves to what extent does there continue to be discrimination against funding in women's sports? What is the per capita funding for women's sports in Canada today compared with men's sports?
