I would like to add a clarification to what I said earlier. The amounts added to the base budgets are also extremely difficult to manage, both for the federal government and for festivals and events. The budget was presented this year in March or April—I'm not sure which—but festivals start in May or June. By the time the applications are sent to Treasury Board, the file comes back and the cheques are sent by Canadian Heritage to all the festivals and events, they are already finished. I don't think that's an optimal way to spend that money.
We were talking about predictability earlier; that's also what this is about. If we can know in advance what we'll have, it will be much easier than if we receive the cheque two months after the event. I think that summarizes the problem right now.
