I think it is important to have that spirit of cooperation and collaboration of working together. But at the same time, in light of what the minister said today, there was a substantial amount of cuts made that did have a great impact. I think that I, and I'm sure many of the MPs around this table, have been inundated with e-mails and phone calls from individuals, from organizations and stakeholders who suffered from the cuts. I think it's important to know where we were at, where the inefficiencies were, and what the government needs to do to really move forward to ensure that the funding that is provided in the future is focused, especially for the programs that were cut and what has been done to replace them, so that these artists and these organizations have the resources they need to really build our identity as a country and also to promote our Canadian artists.
I think, as Mr. Angus was saying, we could perhaps have a limited number of meetings so we don't focus all of our time on that, and if Madame Lavallée were amenable to that she would find great support and consensus from everyone around the table.
