Mr. Speaker, it seems we have changed gears a little bit. The member is accepting the fact that this government is the government that is putting more support behind the arts than any other government in history. It is putting more money behind the arts than any other government in history.
This government is proud to recognize the importance of a strong arts and culture sector for Canada's creativity and innovation in these challenging economic times. We are proud of our unparalleled commitment to the Canadian artists in all regions of the country, as well as celebrating creativity in the arts at the highest international level. That is our record. That is what we are going to continue to do. We stand four-square behind the artists of this country.
