Here's the major difference. As a federalist, in my opinion, the difference is that Quebec culture and francophone culture are part of Canadian culture. We are together; it's not one or the other. We're together even if the members of the House of Commons belong to different political parties. I believe that what you are saying is completely false. It's false to say that there are no successful Canadian productions. Just think of Bon Cop, Bad Cop, Passchendaele, Éric Lapointe or Sylvain Cossette. Just think of our literary output.
I'd like to make a suggestion. BC Scene is under way at the National Arts Centre, located just across the street. This event ends on Sunday night, and between now and then you can see magnificent creative artists, dancers and singers who are unequalled in the world. They are here and they are anglophones and francophones. They come from British Columbia. They are proud artists and they are unrivalled in the world.
Canada is a world capital of culture. Just look at the performances that are presented in Montreal, the filmmaking industry in Vancouver, Canadian museums—all our homegrown talent. We have much to be proud of. The government's responsibility is to set up programs to help artists in need, to invest funds effectively and to support training for the next generation of artists. We are making investments that were previously unheard of in our country's history: $2.3 billion will be injected this year. That is an unprecedented amount. I am proud of our artists, and I am proud of our investments in our cultural activities.
