Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank you for being here with us, Minister, even though it is only for an hour. I hope you will appear before us again very soon.
Mr. Nantel asked a question about the agreement between Canada and Europe. I think this is relevant when we are talking about the budget, given that what we are talking about here is Canadian Heritage's funds and the repercussions that might have.
Can you tell us whether the government's position is still to preserve the culture exception in the Canada-Europe agreement?
