Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like you to thank you for coming here this afternoon. In order to add to our record, I will ask you a few quick questions, because we do not have much time.
Mr. Heard, we have gone through your brief, and we found it quite relevant. It contains excellent suggestions.
When you talk about putting the MAP under an arm's length agency, does that exclude the risk that this agency might lose its funding some day, when governments change, just like it happened to Telefilm Canada and the Canada Council, for example.
