I am going to share my time with my colleague, Mr. Benskin, but first I want to ask the following question.
The NFB cut nearly 70 jobs. The federal Conservative government reduced the organization's budget by $6 million. That concerns us. Radio-Canada plans to eliminate 37 jobs. The CinéRobothèque archive in Montreal has closed.
We are getting ready for the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, and that's all well and good, but what has the impact of those budgets cuts in Montreal and across the country been?
