In May 2005 the Minister of Culture Youth and Recreation (CYR) reappointed the Minister’s Advisory Committee on Status of the Artist (MACSA) to provide advice for the development of Status of the Artist measures. Specific topics that MACSA was required to address included: collective bargaining rights for artists, the role and mandate of a permanent advisory committee, and an inventory of training opportunities for artists. In addition, the committee was directed to identify and address further issues and priorities related to Status of the Artist. MACSA’s recommendations are discussed in full in the body of the report.
