Yes. I guess so. Thank you.
Accompanying the minister are Department of Canadian Heritage officials. We have Isabelle Mondou, deputy minister of Canadian Heritage, and Thomas Owen Ripley, associate assistant deputy minister of cultural affairs. He has been here so often I think I know him extremely well just by looking at him.
The minister has told us she will stay for an hour from the time this begins.
I'm going to give the minister a chance to present for 10 minutes, and then we will have questions and answers.
Begin, Minister. Welcome.
