Ms. Hébert, let's talk about the arts and culture in general. We often take an economic perspective because the cultural sector is an important sector of our economy. However, culture is more than economics, especially when you're talking about a nation, and Quebeckers are very sensitive to these issues. There is a broad consensus in Quebec that the Canada Arts Council's budget should be increased to $300 million.
Can you tell us how culture has been acknowledged for contributing to a nation, whether that be the Canadian nation or the Quebec nation? What does culture represent for a nation?
