CMA Urges Heritage Committee to Resume Museums Study Communiqué September 21, 2017 CMA Urges Heritage Committee to Resume Museums Study OTTAWA, Ontario, September 21, 2017 — The Canadian Museums Association (CMA) warmly welcomes new members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage and reiterates the utmost importance of the Study on the State of Canadian Museums. In June 2016, the CMA Board of Directors presented its preliminary recommendations to the Committee and stated that the current federal museum policies are out of date and no longer meet the needs of museums and galleries. Museums welcome over 62 million visitors each year and play a vital role of preserving our achievements, building social cohesion and national understanding. The CMA urges the Committee to continue with hearings and to issue a full report with recommendations for action. “Most primary federal museum programs have not changed over the last 40 years, other than to have had their budgets reduced,” said John G. McAvity, the CMA’s executive director and CEO. “The Committee held three days of hearings last year and is scheduled to hold at least six more days of hearings at a time not yet determined. The Committee plays an important role for Canada and we request that it resumes its Study on the State of Canadian Museums as soon as possible,” he added. The CMA and regional museum associations asked museums to meet their members of Parliament and to discuss their needs this summer. We encourage museums to continue to do this and to send in their views to their members of Parliament and the Clerk of the Committee. Forthcoming hearings will include invited museum representatives. If you would like to appear before the Committee, contact your member of Parliament or The Clerk of the Committee, Michael MacPherson by email at [email protected] or by writing: Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Sixth Floor, 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa ON K1A 0A6 Canada Seven new appointments to the Committee: • Sean Casey (L), Charlottetown, P.E.I., Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage, • Anju Dhillon (L), Dorval-Lachine-LaSalle, Que., • Julie Dzerowicz, (L), Davenport, Ont., • Robert Kitchen (C), Souris-Moose Mountain, Sask., • Stéphane Lauzon (L), Argenteuil – La Petite-Nation, Que, Parliamentary Secretary for Sport and Persons with Disabilities, • Martin Shields (C), Bow River, Alta., • Arif Virani (L), Parkdale-High Park, Ont., Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism.

  • Mass Cancellations Put Artists' Livelihoods at Risk; Arts Organizations in Financial Distress
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau March 17, 2020 ​ Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland The Honourable Steven Guilbeault The Honourable William Francis Morneau Minister of Canadian Heritage Minister of Finance The Honourable Mona Fortier The Honourable Navdeep Bains Minister of Middle-Class Prosperity Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Associate Minister of Finance The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages Re: Mass cancellations put artists’ livelihoods at risk; arts organizations in financial distress Dear Prime Minister Trudeau; Deputy Prime Minister Freeland; and Ministers Guilbeault, Morneau, Fortier, Joly, and Bains, We write as the leadership of Opera.ca, the national association for opera companies and professionals in Canada. In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.
