Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for taking the time to be here.

I'd like you to highlight some of the key investments the government is making in festivals and events. For example, we've seen that Canadian Heritage is the sponsor of the Silver Skate Festival, and the international jazz festival in Edmonton. Specifically in my riding, Canadian Heritage has been a sponsor of the Under the Big Top Festival at Festival Place in Sherwood Park, and Canada Day festivities in Fort Saskatchewan.
