Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Minister, I am pleased to put questions to you and to those who are here with you.

I am interested in your government's emphasis on the Pan American Games. The budget provides for an increase in funding to Canadian Heritage, which includes $71 million for those games. How will that funding be spent?

I do not know whether you can answer the next question, but I will ask it all the same. In addition to the Pan American Games as such, will that be good for the health of Canadians?
