The cultural industry is very strong in Quebec, and across the country.
I had an opportunity to go to China last January and meet with my Chinese counterpart, the minister of culture. We agreed to create a joint committee, which is now formed. That will help us create more partnerships with that country. I expect my Chinese counterparts to visit Canada over the next few months, and then we will go meet them in Shanghai.
We have created a committee of experts to help us with that meeting. Several representatives of the Canadian cultural sector are members of that committee, such as Cirque du Soleil, Cavalia and a group from Vancouver called Archiact. Canadians who work as senior executives at Disney are also members. I want to point out that the Walt Disney group is currently making large investments in creative industries in Shanghai, China.
With all that expertise and given the interest shown across the country in culture, our mission will have very good representation next April.
