Thank you, Chair.
I want to re-emphasize that the 61% increase on the CBC budget that you have outlined in your budget is over five years, but here's what my question is really about. I know now how you are paying for this.
Our previous government had what was one of the best plans in this country. It was the children's arts tax credit, and I see that you have done away with it. That was $105 million that helped families in Canada. It helped families for culture, history, dancing, and music, and you've done away with it. It was $105 million, so I can see that now we're going to have everyone on the couch watching our public broadcaster instead of where they should be.
Maybe you could talk about why you would cut that when it was bringing people out of their homes and giving us the arts and culture that we need in this country. That arts tax credit was a great plan, and you've taken that $105 million and given it to the public broadcaster.
