Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows very well, the CRTC is an arm's length agency.
That said, a strong Canadian content is a priority for our government. Take our new support for arts and culture for example.
In our budget 2006, $50 million over two years was earmarked for the Canada Council for the Arts. On July 20, it was announced that $30 million out of that $50 million would be recurring.
In September, $30 million for the festivals program was announced. This will help support the next generation in all parts of the country.
That is what our government is doing for arts and culture.
