Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Minister of Canadian Heritage for her excellent work in connection with cultural diversity at UNESCO. Unlike the party over the way, she does more than talk; she has acted and achieved some concrete results.
In a world context as favourable as this, our artists cannot help but flourish, and yet the minister has done still more for the cultural community.
Can she tell the House how she will be supporting our country's artists more than ever through the Canada Council for the Arts?
