Canadian Heritage committee  Actually, that one sounds familiar. It might have received.... I will have to check on that.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, exactly. It's federal support.

Canadian Heritage committee  Page 11 of the deck shows you that we've broken it down by the size of the museum, and you can see where the operating expenses go. What you'll see is that it's a labour-intensive business, and this speaks to the challenge I was asked about earlier, in that because it is such a labour-intensive business and because there are fixed facility operating costs, this is where the major challenge is for museums.

Canadian Heritage committee  Speaking to your first issue about the classification of sizes, the distinction we're making when we.... We are assuming that when you talk about local museums, you're generally speaking about museums in what we classify as the small and medium sizes. These are thresholds that have been used for a long time by, for example, the Canadian Museums Association.

Canadian Heritage committee  Right.

Canadian Heritage committee  Actually, in the most recent budget there was an announcement by the government that they are expanding the youth employment strategy, and that will result in another approximately 125 internships this year for museums across Canada. If the museum you're speaking about receives $7,000, it was probably because that would have been an internship rather than a summer job, but we do support an extensive number of students for summer jobs through museums of all sizes, including the museums that Mr.

Canadian Heritage committee  I would like to specify that Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, there are no minimal staff numbers for that. I wanted to be precise about that. I'm trying to think of where I left off. I think I left off at around page...

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. There's a mistake, I believe, on your copy. We were doing this late last night, and we had a typo in the amount of provincial support. It is 45%, that's correct, but the number should read $291 million and not $219 million.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, exactly. This page breaks out the support. I think it's getting to the heart of what you were asking, Mr. Nantel. The kinds of support we provide differ between the various levels of government. With regard to the federal government's portion of support, the vast majority of that goes to support the operational costs of the six national museums.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  The threshold is about the same as for the museums assistance program.
