Canadian Heritage committee  That's the proportion for 2014-15.

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Nantel, some progress has been made, but perhaps not enough for everyone here. We have made progress. Selecting somebody for boards is not something that's done in a week. There is a selection process. Interviews did take place late last year. Then reference checks have to be identified.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm not great at math, but $1 billion out of $1.6 billion is provided by the government.

Canadian Heritage committee  All I can say is that we're working hard and we're doing everything we can to get the necessary decision. It is a Governor in Council appointment, so it's something that involves not just the public service, but also the government. We and the government are working hard, and we hope that there will be a decision in due course.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thanks for the question. I have the figures for 2014-15, the amount received from the government and the amount normally received from their own-source revenues. I don't have the figures going back.

Canadian Heritage committee  For 2014-15, though, the appropriation from the federal government is over $1 billion, and the revenue expected in 2014-2015 is $670 million. So the CBC obtains a fair proportion of own-source revenues.

Canadian Heritage committee  That we would have to get back to you on, because I don't have the figures here. With respect to inflation, though, I would say that there was money provided to a number of the crown corporations for inflation related to salary in years past. We'll get you those figures as well.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thanks very much for the question. Obviously, any time we host a major sporting event, there are benefits for our young people, who see these wonderful athletes and are inspired by them. So I think it always has that spill-over effect for our young athletes. Overall, the government is providing $500 million, spread over a number of years, so there are variations from year to year in what we're funding.

Canadian Heritage committee  If you mean which amount is for our department, Patrimoine canadien, it's $500 million out of our department for the full period. The games themselves, of course, cost more. Funding is being provided by the provincial government, for example, and the City of Toronto, and that doesn't include security costs, I believe.

Canadian Heritage committee  The detailed planning for all that we might do on the road to 2017 is not finalized yet. There are certain events in the road up to 2017 that we know of, and we're still gathering ideas, of which there are very many, for how best one could celebrate. In the road to 2017, though, there are a number of important sports events that Canadians will have an opportunity to experience and watch.

Canadian Heritage committee  Just to add a little bit on the Pan Am Games and the legacy, obviously, a large part of the $500 million that the Canadian government has promised will be going to the infrastructure, so that infrastructure will live on. We're also providing $65 million for a legacy fund, which will allow the operating costs of some of those buildings to continue for a number of years.
