Mr. Speaker, it is certainly not groundhog day. Or at least it will stop being groundhog day when the day comes that we get some answers with justifications, because the reductions that have been made are not justified.
What is more, on that same day, February 12, I had a question for the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages concerning the Canada prizes. We know these were created to please the people in charge of Luminato, and their promotional documents were even cut and pasted into the budget. The purpose is to give hundreds of thousands of dollars in bursaries to young foreign artists, when what we were asking of the government was money for our artists to enable them to go abroad. They absolutely did not get it.
Three months ago, almost to the day, the minister answered me by saying that there was another project besides the Luminato one. He said he would show it to me and it would be made public in the very near future. He also said that he would be able to talk about it and make factual comments. I would love to talk about it but here we are, three months later, still with no public announcement of any kind.
