I would address the issue from another viewpoint, even though I may come to the same conclusion. We consider that an investment in creativity, in cultural products and cultural expression is something fundamental. The federal government has an important role to play in that regard. Apart from some very rare exceptions, there is no cultural industry here that can survive without some form of direct or indirect support from our governments. That's the basic reality. On that point, I would say that, if the Quebec film industry is doing well, we think there's no reason to stop investing in it.
