Fine.
However, the increase is mainly in the form of statutory salary increases, which is entirely different. Cuts have indeed been made. When we look at what has happened in the past, it's hard to be very optimistic about the future.
Quickly, I want to get to the Canada Media Fund which currently has a budget of $350 million. Of that total, $134 million comes from the government. Is that right? If we look at what the Economic Action Plan has to say about the Canadian Television Fund—it still goes by the old name—mention is made of $100 million on page 292 of the French version.
So then, the Fund provides for $350 million in total, $134 million of which come from the government. Of these $134 million, $100 million are being allocated under the Economic Action Plan budget for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. However, when we look at your site—and no mention is made of this elsewhere—we note that the funding for plans and projected follow-up action decreases from $119 million to $20 million. Does this mean that currently there are funds set aside in the Economic Action Plan, that there will be nothing for the future and that culture will take a $100 million hit? Would that be a correct assessment of the situation?
