Mr. Chair, on November 10, 2004, the minister is quoted in Le Devoir as saying that cutting public support to museums across Canada is easier than cutting funds to broadcasters. I wonder why she says we must act now because our cultural heritage is disappearing, and yet she seems to have given up according to that report that we have. Given the Auditor General's call for immediate action, how could the minister be so willing to cut support to museums?
