Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I just want to say, as a new member, I had hoped sincerely that this heritage committee would be looking at things that would offer a future to our artists, a future to our culture. As far as I'm concerned, I believe the minister was very clear on what he said. Some of these programs have met their mandates. If I could use an analogy, it's like having a wedding, the wedding being completed, and then asking for more money to redo the wedding. Some of these things are absolutely concluded, and I believe the minister was very clear in saying that he is willing to discuss all of those. He's provided most of that information today, and to waste precious time could really provoke us into a future for our artists and the culture we're looking at.
I have to vote against this, because I want to move forward. I do not want to go back just to argue these things that have been very clearly stated by the minister.
