Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You won't be interrupting me, you'll be interrupting our witnesses because I'm going to take a minute to ask my question, and I would like all of you to respond in the minute that you will have, because we only have six minutes.
First of all, thank you to all of you for being here. There's no question that commemoration is important to all of us. I think the statement was that hopefully, a government doesn't come in and want this not to be done anymore. I can assure you, there is no one on this committee who would ever propose such a thing. We do understand the importance of commemoration for those who served and for the history of our country.
I've spoken to a couple of you already in side meetings that we've had at the Juno Beach Centre. By the way, Derron Bain and Joel Watson are strong advocates for the centre, as you know, Don.
Caitlin, we've spoken as well. We spoke about the short-term challenges that each organization is having as a result of COVID, but there are some medium to long-term financial challenges that are coming up for all of the organizations. We know that VAC has proposed $44.9 million in spending in the commemoration programming in 2021-22. We haven't seen a financial plan yet, unless I'm missing something, for the actual strategic plan.
This question is for all of you. If you were us, recommending to the government how to spend money on commemoration, where would you want it to go?
I'll start with Caitlin. You only have a minute.
