I appreciate that all of you have made the effort to come here and I know you're hearing from a whole bunch of sectors.
The heritage sector is part of how we define ourselves as a country; it's who we are in terms of our identity as Canadians. I'm very disappointed to see a government that is cutting funding to the institutions that deliver that on a local basis.
I encourage you to look again, not just at the programs funded by Canadian Heritage but also at the employment funding for students.
Thank you very much for your time.
