Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First, I'd like to get an idea of the situation as a whole.
Madam, I listened to your remarks on the essential aspects of your two reports. I congratulate you because, as usual, you've done your work in a disciplined manner and you encourage the departments to correct the deficiencies that have been outlined.
I also listened carefully to the presentation of the departmental people. If I understood correctly, it appears that a whole set of measures has been taken since your 2003 and 2005 reports appeared. For example, the processes of Telefilm Canada and the Canadian Television Fund have been merged, and criteria revised, and things appear to be more rigorously audited with regard to the Canadian Revenue Agency. It was mentioned that significant investments had been made to protect our collections, whether it be those of the Aviation Museum, the War Museum, the Museum of Nature or others. I don't know whether specific reference was made to them, but in talks I've had with certain persons, I've been told that the merger between the National Library and the National Archives—a field where Canada appears to be innovating—was supposed to result in better management, savings, and so on, and that it appears that is the case. I don't know whether it's actually the case, but that's what I was told.
Are you satisfied with all these initiatives that the department has taken, and do you believe it reacted well to your report and the recommendations?
