We could debate this issue at nausea, but I do not want to engage in sophistry. Of course, we have to be realistic. Let's take the example of museums, to come full circle. In the last ten years or so, the funding from museums has been cut by half, and there are figures to prove it. In the last two years, that funding has been cut back by 25%. Some museums need money and do not have access to funding. This is probably due to the lack of vision on the part of those people who are responsible for developing a museum's policy. But to come back to the motion, inviting witnesses who have not used the program does not mean that reducing the program's budget is in any way justified. It is an aberration.
