Mr. Speaker, on January 23 this year I had the pleasure of introducing the Minister of State for Transport and the Minister of Labour to the Royal Conservatory of Music's Glenn Gould School.
Students of music go through these schools to perfect their craft and will also contribute to Canada's rich musical heritage.
Named after the iconic Canadian pianist, it was announced that this school will be receiving $1.75 million of funding from the Canadian government, as well as $1.6 million for the National Youth Orchestra Association of Canada and $300,000 for the Canadian Opera Company.
These institutions are vital to the cultural vibrancy of Canada and enrich the lives of countless young Canadians in Don Valley East and elsewhere.
This supports future Canadian cultural leaders in the arts.
