Somewhat, but allow me to comment on what you have just said. Investments in the arts and culture largely exceed those made last year or at any other time in the past. This budget includes new investments: $100 million for markee festivals and events; $60 million for theatres, libraries and small museums; $20 million for the National Arts Training Contribution Program; $25 million for the Canada prizes for dance, music and drama; $30 million to support access to Canadian magazines and community newspapers; $28.6 million for the Canada New Media Fund; and $200 million for the Canadian Television Fund.
