Thank you, Mr. Chair. I tend to agree. This is starting to delve into a bit of a debate.
That being said, when the parliamentary secretary acknowledges publicly available information about government allocations of funds, I think it is germane to this discussion, in light of the fact that this discussion seems to be focused on a reduction of government support for the arts. When compared with the facts, it doesn't seem to be, in my opinion, actually holding true to reality. So I think Mr. Del Mastro's point is fair, and as such, in light of the fact that it is public information, I don't see the concern that's been expressed by a number of the members.
