When parliamentarians return to Ottawa in a few weeks to kick off the 2024 sitting, there are a few bills from MPs and senators that will be worth keeping an eye on and one in particular relating to the establishment of a Parliamentary Visual Artist Laureate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BILL S-202<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill to create a parliamentary visual artist laureate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This piece of legislation proposes amendments to the Parliament of Canada Act to create a new position<\/a> titled Parliamentary Visual Artist Laureate, with the mandate of representing Canadian art for a two-year term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill, proposing a spinoff to the existing parliamentary poet laureate, has been a topic of consideration for years in Ottawa, so long that the artist that inspired the legislation died amid a cancer battle in 2020 while pushing to see his idea become a reality and its initial sponsor Sen. Patricia Bovey who since has retired from the Upper Chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After unanimously passing the Senate in December 2021, it sat unmoved in the House of Commons until June 2023. In November, the House Canadian Heritage Committee completed a brief study, passing two amendments to the bill<\/a> aimed at securing linguistic and artistic diversity in the role. Will 2024 finally be the year that this initiative is adopted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
