Thank you, Minister, once again for being here.
Arts and culture is obviously important to any developing country, community, and so on. It's undeniable that the prosperity of arts and culture in Canada helps support both official languages, particularly in the minority language communities.
Following the recession that hit so many countries, many G-7 countries had to cut their funding for arts and culture. However, Canada, under the direction of the Harper government, committed to maintain it.
Can you help us to better understand the commitment that has taken shape regarding our national languages?
