Press conference held by co-chairmen of the Task Force on the Status of the Artist: Gratien Gélinas and Paul Siren. In their opening statements (in French and English respectively) Gélinas and Siren explain the mandate of their Task Force and outline the proposals submitted in their report to the federal government. Among the issues raised by members of the press gallery are: the report's recommendation for amendments to the Income Tax Act and the question of a working definition for professional artists; the discrepancy between artists living below the poverty line and those who have considerable incomes; the need for artists to be considered as a special group in terms of fiscal provisions; and the inter-disciplinary scope of the report's recommendations.
