Thank you, gentlemen.
Both of you talked about the transition to the digital age, especially you, Mr. Caron. A good part of your presentation covered that topic.
I studied archeology. I am an archeologist. I have to admit that I am very concerned about the material culture itself.
My question is for Mr. Caron.
Your acquisition budget has decreased considerably. In 2009, if I am not mistaken, your acquisition budget was $1 million. In 2011, it is $300,000 or $400,000.
First, why is that? Second, do you not think, with all the events planned that will culminate in the 150th anniversary of Canada, the budget reduction may make it difficult to acquire important documents?
