Indeed, Mr. Bélanger, the committee is looking at a number of industries, but our department has had an opportunity to speak with the committee, which includes Ms. Isabelle Hudon, who worked with our Minister at the November 2007 Montreal, Cultural Metropolis Rendez-Vous, and one of those industries is the cultural industry. I believe the committee understands the specificity of the cultural community, in keeping with the spirit of the Convention on Cultural Diversity, and that this is part of their work.
