Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, you said in your opening remarks that your party was the only one that spoke of the urgency and importance of maintaining support measures for the cultural sector. I have to correct you, because this has also been a Bloc Québécois hobbyhorse. I couldn't ignore that little jab.
Since you talked about it during your election campaign and we talked about it during ours, we can assume that you already knew that, with the end of the CRB, it would be urgent for the artists who benefited from it to regain some form of support.
We know that this is urgent, and we are very anxious for this support to be paid, of course. I imagine that this support will be retroactive. Is that the case?
