Mr. Speaker, I would like to correct the leader of the Bloc Québécois. We did not announce $500 million in the budget for arts and culture across the country. We announced $770 million, the largest investment in Canadian history.
That includes $38 million for local media, and the Bloc Québécois voted against that. It includes $6 million a year for the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Bloc Québécois voted against that. It includes $150 million for Telefilm Canada, and the Bloc Québécois voted against that. It also includes $26 million for the National Film Board of Canada, the largest investment in decades for that organization, and the Bloc Québécois voted against that.
