Madam Speaker, as my uncle used to say, “Hang on there, skipper; there is more to this than meets the eye.”
I would suggest the member look at the program, the NADP, which has provided small and medium-sized grants to these local communities.
I get the feeling that the government is only looking at the act of taking a picture and putting it onto a CD. There is more to it. There is a storytelling element to this that archivists can provide. These small grants that were provided under this cancelled program really provide the expertise for the smallest of communities—church groups, ethnic groups and aboriginal communities—to tell a story.
I would like the hon. member to comment. Does he not agree that this is not just about putting a picture on a CD, but about telling a story? It is the narrative that needs to be done, and that takes a small investment from a program that the Conservatives have just cancelled.
