Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day to all of you. Thank you for joining us today and congratulations on the fine work that you are doing in your respective fields. I would have preferred to meet with you under different circumstances and speak to you about films and foreign productions. However, we're here to talk about cuts that I see as brutal and unjustified in many respects. Our objective today is to look for answers, since we do not have any. When we put specific questions about these cuts, whether to the Minister or to departmental representatives, we fail to get any answers. We're told that it's generally for administrative reasons, that things are poorly managed. However, no one can prove it to us, because the documents involved are confidential. Moreover, that is the reason why I tabled a motion requesting that all documents having to do with any decisions made in this area be turned over to us. I hope to get an answer from the government.
Were you consulted, or did you hear anything about these upcoming changes or cuts?
