Arts and culture are essential. Without them, a people cannot grow. That's pretty obvious. In that respect, the SRC can help because it broadcasts cultural and arts programs and conveys a people's sense of identity.
We're attempting to convey an important message, namely that the SRC, which has a national mandate, must place more emphasis on its national mandate so that Canadians can communicate with and understand one another and share resources, expertise and talents. That has always been our goal.
What the TB Bank was saying is true. We're asking to partner with institutions like the SRC -- and there are many others -- to share our community's wealth with others.
