Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you for your very interesting presentations.
Here is one quick question. I was interested in what you were saying about art and about its being good for the economy, but it's also very good for individuals who may not fit into other situations. I think it's also good for Canada, because when you're selling your art abroad and when you go abroad, you carry such a positive image of Canada. We have a few grants in Canada, and this may be our most positive grant.
We hear more and more that, with cuts being made to DFAIT, with the move away from that we call “people to people diplomacy”, it is more and more difficult to get money and to be supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs to go abroad and exhibit and showcase your art.
Could you quickly comment on that, if possible?
