Thank you for making that announcement today.
You also listed your department's investments and the concrete steps it has taken in the past two years. On page 4 of your introductory remarks, it says, “and so forth”. There is actually one thing you have not talked about: the investments in cultural spaces. For 10 years, the previous government slashed those investments. I am from a minority community in Sudbury, in northern Ontario, and I know how vital these cultural spaces are for minority communities.
What investments has the current government made and does it intend to make in cultural spaces across the country to continue to support these communities? These investments are very important.
