I think you understand where I'm going with this.
We have a budget of $11.8 million, and the spreadsheet I have goes back to 1995-96 under the previous government. Starting in 1995-96, the expenditures were $8 million, $7.9 million, $8.3 million, $7.2 million, $8.5 million, $9.6 million, $7.7 million, $7.4 million, $8.2 million, and $8.1 million. These expenditures do not get close to the $11.8 million that was actually budgeted. So I'm a little skeptical about the claims that museums are being shortchanged, when in fact the total funding on an annual basis was significantly less than what was actually budgeted.
Could give us a comment on your commitment to the long-term viability of museums in Canada, especially the smaller museums?
