Canadian Heritage committee  I would like to nominate the eminent Dr. Hedy Fry to chair this committee.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I want to first go back to Kelly-Ann Paul with the Canada Games Council for a quick second. I just want to clarify this with you. None of the cancellations were due to any federal government policies. Is that correct?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I would also like to go back to Heather George from the Canadian Museums Association. You've been very eloquent today, and I want to thank you for being here. I know the Woodland Cultural Centre quite well. You guys do excellent work there, and I want to thank you f

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I also took note that you mentioned only two museums closed throughout the pandemic. I'm wondering what would have happened if there hadn't been federal government supports. Can you imagine what the museum landscape would look like today if those supports hadn't been t

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for that. You were talking about the museum policy, earlier and just now again, being 30 years out of date. What other things would you like to see if we were to update the museum policy? What would you like to see in there to secure the sector?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, very much, Madam Chair. I want to be clear on exactly what we are hoping to study with this motion. Maybe Mrs. Thomas can elaborate a little bit more.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I would say that I agree with my colleague Mr. Housefather that the motion would change the intent of the motion.

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, as most of you know, when the pandemic started in 2020, I was a member of the news media. I don't know about newspaper subscriptions, but I can tell you that for broadcasters, viewership skyrocketed. I was covering the pandemic every day. People appreciated it. Many

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. Through you, Madam Chair, I know that in the minister's mandate letter there's also a goal to create a system of news remuneration. Can you describe that legislation a bit, and how it hopes to also support journalism in the country?
